Sorting once instead of every time

A mahjong deck runs to well over 100 cards across 3 suits, honours and flowers. Put away unsorted, it has to be sorted again before the next game, and that is 5 minutes at the start of every session.

Separators let the deck be put away sorted. Setup becomes lifting out what is needed rather than searching for it.

Also useful for tiles

The same pieces work as dividers in a tile box, keeping suits in their own sections. That is worth more than the sorting time: tiles held in groups do not grind against each other in transit, which is what rounds corners over years.

Polypropylene rather than card

Card dividers crease at the top edge where they are pulled, and once creased they stop standing. Polypropylene flexes and recovers, and it does not absorb anything spilled on it.

10 pieces

More than the strict minimum, which is deliberate. 3 suits, honours and flowers is 5, and the spares cover the pieces that get lost or that a particular group wants separated differently.

Care

Wipe clean. Store them flat with the deck rather than loose, since thin flat pieces bend when they are the only thing in a bag.

These are the small pieces that keep a game moving: scoring, turn order, and keeping the table straight.

Check what your set already holds. Many sets ship with dice and scoring pieces. Read the contents list of the set you own before buying a second lot.

Match the game. Scoring sticks and counters belong to the older scoring traditions. American play works from its own annual card, so the table keeps score differently. Wind indicators suit any table where the dealer moves.

Check the dimensions. Anything that holds a tile or a card is cut to a size. Compare the stated measurements against what you already own.

None of these change how well you play. They make the evening run more smoothly.

Frequently asked questions

On the printed hands of an American card, colour groups the hands and marks which ones must be played in a single suit, so it carries real information. On a card deck, colour distinguishes the suits exactly as it does on tiles. On these separators it means nothing at all: 10 colours simply let you assign one per group and find it without reading.

Usually nothing beyond the back design, which exists so two decks in the same house can be told apart and a stray card can be sent home to the right pack. Occasionally a colour marks a different edition or count. Check the number of cards rather than the colour, since that is what decides whether the flowers and seasons are included.

A deck carrying the full run of suits and honours, or hands cannot be completed. Past that it is a physical question. Thin card creases at the corner and the crease stays as a mark, which matters in a game of concealed hands. Whatever deck you use, sorting it by group is what turns 5 minute setup into 30 second one, which is what these separators do.

Numbered tiles within a suit split into three families, 1-4-7, 2-5-8 and 3-6-9, and members of the same family tend to complete the same hand. A partial run of 2 and 3 accepts either the 1 or the 4; extend the shape and the 7 comes in as well. It is a memory aid for reading waits, and part of why many players keep each suit separated rather than mixed when they put a deck away.

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.
