Gold pine-tree bams and ladybug dots complete the safari look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLeopard mahjong tiles, from the craks to the jokers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOcelot puts its leopards on the faces of the tiles, where you look during every hand. These leopard mahjong tiles show a seated leopard holding a balloon on each crak, a crouching leopard under the word BAM and a walking leopard under the word CRAK on the dragons, and a roaring leopard head under an arched JOKER on all 10 jokers. The four winds are large E, S, W and N letters filled with leopard print. Every face is white with rounded corners, so the spotted art reads clearly against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the 160 tiles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an American Mahjong set, with an Arabic numeral in the top corner of every dot, bam and crak, plus flowers and jokers.

The bams are gold pine trees, and the 1-Bam is a gold bird carrying an olive sprig. The soap is an empty gold double frame with ornate corners. The eight flowers are eight different cream and yellow blooms: a white blossom cluster, mimosa, yellow roses, a white lily, a white anemone, yellow trumpet flowers, white roses and a yellow orchid. The flowers carry no numbers. Most of the art is gold on white, which gives a soft, warm look rather than strong contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize, material and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maker lists each tile at 1.24 x 0.91 in (31.5 x 23.2 mm). Thickness is not listed, so measure your racks before pairing them with this set. The tiles are listed as acrylic and the set is listed for 4 players. Acrylic tiles usually need only a soft, slightly damp cloth; skip solvents and keep the set out of strong sun for long periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmerican Mahjong\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTile count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTile breakdown\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36 dots, 36 bams, 36 craks, 16 winds, 12 dragons, 8 flowers, 10 jokers, 6 blanks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTile size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.24 x 0.91 in (31.5 x 23.2 mm), length x width as listed; thickness not listed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcrylic (as listed by the maker)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace color\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite, with gold and leopard artwork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCorners\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRounded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNumbering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArabic numerals in the corner of suit tiles; flowers not numbered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlayers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 (as listed by the maker)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBox contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e160 tiles (listed as acrylic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36 dots, 36 bams and 36 craks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 winds and 12 dragons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 flowers, 10 jokers and 6 blanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in this leopard tile set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou get 160 tiles: 36 dots, 36 bams, 36 craks, 16 winds, 12 dragons, 8 flowers, 10 jokers and 6 blanks. That is everything the listing covers. Some product photos show matching racks on the table, but racks are not listed as part of the set, and neither are a case, bag, dice or pushers. The annual National Mah Jongg League card is not included; players buy it from the League each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is a 160-tile set different from a 152-tile set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA standard American Mahjong game uses 152 tiles, including 8 jokers. Ocelot has those 152 tiles plus two more jokers and six blanks, for 160 in total. The extra jokers give you a spare if one goes missing, and many groups keep the blanks aside as replacements or use them for house rules. If your group plays strictly with 152, set the two extra jokers and the blanks aside before you deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the animal tiles in Mahjong?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome regional Chinese sets add animal tiles, such as a cat, mouse, rooster and centipede, which work as bonus tiles. American Mahjong does not use animal tiles. On Ocelot the leopards are artwork on standard tiles: a seated leopard on each crak, leopards on the BAM and CRAK dragons and a roaring leopard on the 10 jokers. The 1-Bam is a gold bird and the dots are ladybugs, but they still play as a normal bam and normal dots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big are the tiles, and will they fit my racks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe maker lists each tile at 1.24 x 0.91 in (31.5 x 23.2 mm), length by width. Thickness is not listed. We have not tested these tiles in any particular rack, so we cannot promise a fit. Before you pair them with racks you already own, compare the rack's ledge height and overall length with these figures, and keep in mind that a tile's thickness also affects how it sits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Mahjong Section","offers":[{"title":"Leopard Print","offer_id":55138784805203,"sku":"14:200006153#Leopard Print","price":144.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/9572\/2323\/files\/ocelot-leopard-mahjong-tiles-01-compact.webp?v=1790825471","url":"https:\/\/themahjongsection.com\/products\/leopard-mahjong-tiles-ocelot","provider":"The Mahjong Section","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
