Most mahjong tiles in the world are made for the Chinese game. We build for the American one — five colorways, one tile count, sold factory-direct with nobody in between.
A Chinese mahjong set runs to 144 tiles with small, thin faces. American Mahjong needs 152 — the same three suits, with the flowers and eight Jokers counted in — at a size that has to sit comfortably in a four-player rack for an evening. The sets we ship contain 166, because we add spares.
Plenty of suppliers treat that as a detail and ship the same tile to both markets. We build for the American game specifically, and nothing else. Our workshop in Futian District, Shenzhen produces five colorways and keeps them in production, so we are not re-tooling between other product lines and lead times stay short.
It also means the person who answers your email knows what a Joker is and why the spare blanks matter. We sell factory-direct — no distributor stands between our workshop and your shelf. That is what keeps the pricing where it is.
American Mahjong is an evening with friends before it is a competition. Our job is to make sure the equipment never gets in the way of that.
The NMJL card is exact, and so is our tile count. Every set leaves with the full 152-tile playing set, including all 8 Jokers, plus 14 spares so a lost tile does not retire the set — no substitutions and no "we'll send the missing one later."
Five colorways, held in production year-round. We would rather make five sets well than fifty badly, and that discipline is what keeps both the quality and the pricing where they should be.
No middlemen, no account managers reading from a script. Ask about the NMJL 2026 card, a mixed carton, or whether your shelf really needs the tortoise shell — you will get a straight answer.
A carton, a pallet, or a single set for the kitchen table — we quote all three, and we answer honestly about what we can and cannot do.
