Antique skeleton keys and curious insects give this traditional mahjong tiles set, the Vintage-Style Keys Insects Ivory Dark design, a cabinet-of-curiosities charm. Ivory faces carry dark brown artwork with gold, green and red highlights, so each tile looks like a page from an old naturalist's notebook. The mood is moody, academic and wonderfully unusual. Players who appreciate traditional style will enjoy how the classic structure remains intact, while beetles, moths and keys add personality to the suits and jokers. The complete American mahjong tile count works with the current NMJL card, so it is ready for real competition, not just display. Use it for an autumn mahj night, a Halloween party with dark academia decor or a library-themed game club. It suits collectors, history lovers and anyone drawn to antiques, old maps and the quiet mystery of vintage objects. Pair it with dark wood racks and a green felt mat, and the whole table looks borrowed from a Victorian study.

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.
