How many cards are in a mahjong playing card set?

Most mahjong playing card decks contain 136 to 152 cards, mirroring the 144 tiles of a standard set plus a few spares or reference cards. The suits, winds, dragons, and bonus tiles are all represented so the rules stay the same.

Are mahjong playing cards waterproof?

Most of our decks are printed on waterproof PVC or plastic that wipes clean and resists folding. This makes them well suited to poolside, beach, and outdoor play where paper cards would not survive.

Can you play real mahjong with cards?

Yes. Mahjong playing cards use the exact same tile set and rules, so you play a complete, authentic game. The only difference is that you hold and deal cards instead of stacking tiles.

Are mahjong cards good for travel?

They are one of the best travel game options. A full deck weighs a fraction of a tile set, fits in a jacket pocket, and often includes dice and a pouch, so you can play mahjong anywhere.

The whole game as a deck of cards. No wall to build, and it fits where a paperback would.

Where they earn their place

A plane tray, a hotel room, the side of a pool. Anywhere a tile set is too heavy, too loud or too fragile to bring along.

Paper, PVC or waterproof

A mahjong deck is 136 or 144 cards, roughly two and a half times a standard pack, so the stock matters. Thickened paper resists the bending that ruins ordinary decks. PVC and waterproof stock survive damp hands and a spilled drink.

Teaching with them

The easiest way to show a friend the game before she commits to a set.
