One of the world’s most popular games, mahjong has skyrocketed in popularity in America in recent years, reaching a whole new generation of players and enchanting them with its blend of strategy, skill, and plain old blind luck. If you’ve only ever played on your phone or your computer, this set offers an affordable entry point while still being absolutely stunning to look at.
This set includes all 144 traditional tiles: 36 dots, 36 bamboo, 36 characters, 16 winds, 12 dragons, 4 flowers, and 4 seasons. Two dice round out the complete set. Each piece is made of melamine, a recycled plastic that’s extraordinarily tough and scratch resistant. They look great and feel even better in the hand.
The pieces are contained in a beautiful case that’s completely covered and lined in brilliant fabrics, and dual brass locking hinges keep your pieces secure. Surprisingly weighty and really striking to look at, this set just must be seen in person—we were really impressed the first time we saw it. The case measures 10 ½” x 8 ½” x 2” when closed, and each tile measures 1 ¼” x ¾” x ½”.
