Built around bold numerals and crisp bamboo stalks, this Traditional Bamboo American mahjong tiles set is all about clarity. White faces carry green bams, red and blue accents, and warm orange highlights, with black numbers placed where your eye expects them. There is nothing fussy here, just the familiar look many players grew up with, sharpened for fast reading. Serious players will appreciate how quickly a glance tells them what was discarded, which matters when the table is racing toward a hand on the NMJL card. The orange touches add a friendly warmth, keeping the set from feeling austere. It suits league regulars, tournament-minded groups, and anyone who wants their American mahjong sessions to be about strategy rather than decoration. Jokers and flowers are easy to find in the rack, and the Charleston moves at a brisk, satisfying clip. For a mahj night where the game itself is the star, this set keeps the focus exactly where you want it.

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?

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?
