Point sticks settle each hand as it ends. Sticks change hands, everyone can see roughly where everyone stands, and there is nothing to reconstruct if a total is questioned 2 hours later.
A score pad does the same job more slowly and less transparently: the running totals live with whoever holds the pad, and arithmetic disputes at midnight are genuinely difficult to resolve.
Sets sold with 20 or 30 sticks run short in the third hour, at which point somebody starts making change with tiles or writing on a napkin.
84 gives 4 players enough denomination spread to keep settling cleanly through a long evening.
In the Japanese game, declaring riichi requires placing 1000 point stick on the table, where it stays as part of the pot. Without sticks the declaration has to be improvised, and it never feels right.
Any Riichi set that arrived without them is incomplete.
Traditional sticks are bamboo, which is beautiful and splinters. Acrylic keeps the shape, does not swell with humidity and survives being tipped into a bag with tiles.
Wipe clean. Keep them bundled in a pouch rather than loose, since thin sticks snap when something heavy lands on them.

Small pieces, big difference
Dice, wind indicators, counters. The details that make a table feel finished instead of improvised.
They are point sticks, the counters players pass between themselves to settle a hand the moment it ends. Denominations are marked along each stick, so a total is readable from any seat without asking. This set holds 84 acrylic sticks in beige and weighs 0.3 kg. Acrylic is the practical choice over bamboo, which splinters and swells, and 84 pieces keeps 4 players supplied through a long session.
Another name for the same thing. Both terms describe the sticks used to pay points between hands instead of keeping a written tally, and neither is more correct than the other. Where sets differ is quantity and material. Acrylic holds its markings where painted wood wears, and 84 pieces gives 4 player table enough that settlement never has to pause for change.
It matters most after somebody declares riichi and puts 1000 point stick on the table. From that moment the declarer's hand is locked and their discards can be read: numbers three apart complete the same runs, so if a 4 has already been thrown, the 1 and 7 of that suit are the more comfortable tiles to release. It is a defensive habit of the Japanese game rather than a scoring rule.
Value comes from patterns, not speed, so the cheap fast hand is often the wrong one to chase. Keeping a hand concealed, collecting your seat or round wind, and building toward a single suit all add multipliers. In the Japanese game, declaring riichi adds value and costs a stick placed on the table, which is one reason a set of 84 disappears faster than people expect over an evening.
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.
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.
