The American Mahjong Set in Hot Air Balloon Cityscape lifts your game above the rooftops. Colorful balloons in blue, red, green, yellow and orange float over tidy city skylines on bright white tiles, capturing the thrill of a festival morning. It is whimsical without being childish, the kind of design that sparks travel stories between hands. The jokers and flowers carry little balloons of their own, so you can spot them quickly while deciding what to pass during the Charleston. It is a great match for travelers, dreamers and anyone who has watched a balloon launch at sunrise. Grandparents love sharing it with older grandkids, and friend groups enjoy how it lightens the mood at a competitive table. Tiny details, like a balloon basket tucked beside a clock tower, reward anyone who looks closely, and first-timers love hunting for them while they wait for their turn. Set out bright racks, study the NMJL card and let every round feel like an adventure, one tile at a time.

Your Questions, Answered
How many tiles come in this set?
160 tiles. The standard American game uses 152 tiles, including 8 jokers, so you also get spare tiles for lost pieces or house rules. Full breakdown: mahjong tile names.
Where can I buy an American mahjong set?
Here at American Mahjongg Set. Every set ships free to the USA, Canada, UK and EU. Shop American mah jongg sets.
Does this set work with the yearly mahjong card?
Yes. It's an American-style set with jokers, made for the yearly card of hands (the card is sold separately by the National Mah Jongg League).
What else do I need to play?
Four racks with pushers, two dice, a mat and this year's card. The tiles are the only thing in this listing.
How do you set up mah jongg?
Four players, one rack each, a wall 19 tiles long and two high, then dice to break the wall and deal. See how to set up mahjong.
American vs Chinese mahjong set: what's the difference?
American sets add jokers and follow the yearly card. Chinese sets have 144 tiles and no jokers, so they don't work for American hands.
Can two or three people play?
The classic game is for four, but two-player (siamese) and three-player versions are popular. Siamese mahjong uses longer siamese racks.
How fast is shipping?
We ship in 2–4 business days and delivery takes 4–6 business days. Free to the USA, Canada, UK and EU.
What is your return policy?
14 days from delivery. Sealed sets: full refund. Opened sets: 15% restocking fee (not applied in the UK/EU). Returns.
