What Comes in an American Mahjong Set?

An American Mahjong set is designed for the style of Mahjong commonly played in the United States. While each product can vary, there are several things shoppers often expect to see in a complete set.

Mahjong tiles

A standard American Mahjong set usually includes 152 tiles. This typically includes suits, winds, dragons, flowers, and joker tiles. Some sets may also include blank replacement tiles.

Racks and pushers

Many American Mahjong players use racks to hold their tiles during play. Some sets include pushers, which help move walls of tiles neatly across the table.

Dice, chips, and accessories

Depending on the set, you may find dice, betting chips, a wind indicator, or a storage case. Always check the product description to confirm what is included.

Do you need a Mahjong card?

Many American Mahjong groups use a current-year Mahjong card. Unless a product page clearly says the card is included, it is usually purchased separately.

If you are buying as a gift or for a first game night, look for a set that is easy to read, well organized, and suited for American Mahjong rules.
