What the dice decide

Dice in mahjong are not a formality. They determine who deals, where the wall is broken and which tiles each player receives, and every hand starts with them.

A game played without dice has to improvise the deal, which works until the first time somebody questions it. There is no agreed alternative, which is why dice are standard equipment everywhere the game is played seriously.

Wind faces instead of numbers

Standard dice give a number that has to be counted round the table to find a seat. Dice marked with the 4 winds give the answer directly.

It is faster and it removes the miscounts that happen at the end of a long evening, particularly on a table where the seating has rotated several times.

The piece sets leave out

Dice are small, cheap and invisible in a product photograph, so they are the first thing dropped from a set assembled to a price. Buyers discover the omission on the first evening, which is exactly the wrong moment.

Keeping a spare pair with the set costs almost nothing and removes the problem permanently.

7 colours

Useful for matching a coloured set, and useful for keeping a spare pair visibly distinct so it does not migrate into another game's box.

Care

Wipe clean. Keep them in a small pouch inside the tile bag, because loose dice work their way into every corner of a bag and out through any gap.

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

The American box holds more: jokers, spare blanks, and larger tiles that need racks. The Chinese box stops at 144 and is often played straight onto a mat. Dice are the piece both share and both frequently lose, since they are the smallest thing in the set and the first to migrate to the bottom of a bag.

New, it follows size, material and finish, and the spread is wide enough that the number is meaningless without those. Second hand, the answer collapses to one word: complete. A set with every tile is worth something and the same set missing a die or a wind marker loses most of that value, which is why the small pieces are worth replacing as soon as they go.

From sellers who list what is in the box rather than describing an atmosphere. Authenticity in practice means the traditional count, conventional faces and the accessories the game actually uses, dice included. A surprising number of sets ship without dice at all, which is why they are sold separately, and why a set can look complete and still not be.

They name the same game. National Mah Jongg refers to the league that issues the annual card, and American mahjong is what is played from it, so the phrases are used interchangeably. Dice are common to both traditions: whichever version is on the table, the deal is decided before the wall is built, and these are marked with the winds to do exactly that.

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.
