How to play

  1. Roll both dice.
  2. Flip one, two or three tiles on your side that add up to the roll. Rolled 11? Flip the 5 and the 6, or the 2, 4 and 5.
  3. Keep rolling until no tiles add up to your roll.
  4. Add up the tiles you could not flip. Lowest score wins.

For young players, any of + − × ÷ can be used to reach the roll.

Questions

Before you order.

Is this the full set, or could a piece be missing?

Each page lists what is in the box: tiles or pieces, and any racks or dice. If what arrives differs from the page, we pay the return and replace or refund it.

Where are these sets made?

In China. Each page names the material as the maker gives it, and nothing is sold as handmade.

What if it arrives damaged?

Write to us. Damaged or not as described: we pay the return and replace or refund it within 14 days, with no restocking fee.

Does the size on the page match what arrives?

Yes. Each page gives the maker's measurement, in inches or millimeters.

Will mahjong tiles fit a rack I already own?

Each mahjong page gives the tile size, and the rack test above checks it against your rack.

Not sure which size to pick?

Write to us before you order. We answer within one business day.
