Pairs well with

Made for Chinese play

Sesame follows the Chinese game: 144 tiles with 8 flowers and no Jokers. The craks and the winds carry Chinese characters, without Arabic numbers in the corners, for players who read the characters at a glance.

Four racks that travel with the tiles

Each player gets a clear rack to line up a hand. After the game, the 4 racks go back into the long red case with the tiles and the dice, and a snap button closes the flap.

Mini tiles, one flat case

Each tile measures 0.79 x 0.55 x 0.39 in (20 x 14 x 10 mm). Packed, the whole set fits in a case of 10.63 x 4.92 x 0.79 in (270 x 125 x 20 mm), less than an inch thick.

Actual size

Drawn to scale. Tile 20 x 14 x 10 mm, next to a standard credit card.

Three things tell you more about a set than its price.

Weight. Heavier tiles sit steadier on the rack and give the click players listen for when they shuffle. A travel set is lighter and smaller, made to pack rather than to play every week.

Material. Melamine and acrylic give a bright click. Stone, bone and denser composites are duller and heavier in the hand. Neither is better: they suit different tables.

Tile size. From 30 mm upward reads comfortably from the seat opposite. Between 24 and 29 mm suits two players better than four. Below 24 mm is made to pack, not to read at a distance.

You do not need an expensive set to play well. You need one your table can read and you are happy to handle.

The sound alone

Shuffling a real set is half the pleasure. Weight in your hand, that clack across the table: you can hear it before you see it.

Yours for twenty years

A set outlasts the group it started with. Choose one you'll still want on the table when someone else is dealing.

Frequently asked questions

144 tiles including 8 flowers, 2 spare tiles, 2 dice and 4 clear racks, all packed in a long red case. There are no chips or game card in the case.

Each tile measures 0.79 x 0.55 x 0.39 in (20 x 14 x 10 mm). Closed, the case holding the tiles and racks is 10.63 x 4.92 x 0.79 in (270 x 125 x 20 mm).

Sesame is built for Chinese rules: it has no Jokers, and the craks and winds show Chinese characters without corner numbers. For American play, choose a set that includes Jokers.

Four clear racks, one for each player. They store in the red case together with the tiles and the dice.

Play in Style with The Mahjong Section

A mahjong set is handled more than almost anything else in the house: every tile passes through four pairs of hands, several times a game.

That is what we select for. Tiles that read clearly from the far side of the table, edges that stay clean, and a case that still closes after a few seasons of being carried around.

A Set Worth Collecting

Sets differ in ways that only show at the table: the weight of a tile in the hand, how a crak reads from three seats away, whether the case survives the trip to a friend’s house.

When we have the figures, we publish them: tile count, tile size, weight and material. When we do not have one, we leave it out rather than guess.
