Turmeric pairs 160 American Mahjong tiles with a table mat printed with red peonies on a navy center inside a blue border. The tiles have glossy mustard backs, white faces, koi jokers and winds spelled out in English.
Most tile sets arrive without anything to play on. Turmeric is a mahjong set with mat: the 160 tiles come with a table mat, so the set and its playing surface arrive together. The mat has a navy center covered in red peonies, framed by a blue border, and the mustard tile backs stand out warmly against it.
The backs are an opaque mustard, close to butterscotch, with a glossy finish. The faces are white to cream depending on the light, with rounded corners. From the side, each tile shows a white half and a mustard half, so a face-down wall reads as a warm golden row. The maker notes that color can vary slightly from one production batch to the next.
Every dot, bam and crak carries an Arabic numeral in the top corner. The dots are green coins inside grey scroll frames, and the 1-Dot is a gold and green medallion. The bams are thin green bamboo stalks, and the 1-Bam is a red-crowned crane in flight over teal clouds. The craks show a red 萬 with a black numeral character. The winds are lanterns with the direction spelled out: NORTH in red, WEST in blue, SOUTH in orange and EAST in green. The dragons are coiled serpents in clouds under BAM in dark green and CRAK in red, and the white dragon is the word SOAP set in a green and gold frame. The jokers show a koi fish in a pink frame beside the word JOKER, and the eight flowers are blossom branches in different colors.
The set is listed at 160 tiles, eight more than the 152 a standard American game uses. The maker has not confirmed how those extra eight split between jokers and blanks. The maker describes the tiles as engraved and hand painted, and the set is listed for 4 players. Tile dimensions and the mat's size and material are not confirmed, so we do not quote them here. Wipe tiles with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and skip solvents.

What comes with this mahjong set with mat?
You get 160 American Mahjong tiles with mustard backs and one table mat printed with red peonies on a navy center inside a blue border. Those two items are what the variant confirms. Racks, dice, a bag or case and pushers are not confirmed as included, so plan on your own. The annual National Mah Jongg League card is not included; players buy it from the League each year.
Do you really need a mahjong mat?
You can play on a bare table, but most groups use a mat. In general, a mat gives the four players a defined playing area, protects the table from scratches and keeps tiles from sliding while you build the wall, and a cushioned mat also softens the clatter of the shuffle. Turmeric includes a peony table mat, so you do not need to buy one separately. The maker does not state its size or material, so check it against your table when it arrives.
How many jokers are in the set?
The set is listed at 160 tiles, and the jokers show a koi fish beside the word JOKER. A standard American Mahjong game uses 152 tiles, including 8 jokers. The maker's full-set photo shows the standard 152 laid out, with the last few tiles face down, so it has not confirmed whether the extra eight are all jokers, blanks or a mix. Count them when the set arrives if your group plays with extras.
Is this set easy for new players to read?
Several details help. Every dot, bam and crak has an Arabic numeral in the top corner, so you do not need to read the Chinese characters on the craks. The winds are spelled out in full, NORTH, EAST, SOUTH and WEST, each in its own color. The dragons are labeled BAM, CRAK and SOAP, which matches the American pairing of the green dragon with bams, the red dragon with craks and soap with dots. The National Mah Jongg League card is not included.

Tiles, and everything the case holds, in one box. Unwrap it, deal a hand, and your table is running.
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.
Yes. This product is presented as an American Mahjong tile set.
The product page describes the selected tile-set variant. Accessories are included only when they are explicitly listed in the description.
Only specifications explicitly stated on this page are confirmed. Unlisted measurements or materials are intentionally not promised.
Yes. Screen settings and lighting can create small differences, so use the gallery as a close visual guide.
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.
