New to Mahjong? Let’s get you equipped! This post is to help you get started or help you decide how to gift a friend so they can get started. You need a mat, a set of tiles, and racks. If you don’t have a table small enough to set up, then get a foldable card table. The extras are the carrying case and storage cases for the mats, the tiles and the dice. I have linked a moderately priced all in one set that I have played in person and it’s a great beginners/intermediate set. Note: it has traditional engraved tiles. I have also linked a great printed tile set (they are usually engraved tiles), but this set is inexpensive and has custom characters (not traditional ones). You can then pair with the linked racks and a mat. It would be perfect as a beginners set. I have also linked the Oh My Mahjong tile dupes that you can get for half the retail price. I have linked a few sets that are on the Anthropologie website for reference. I have also linked a Prada set for anyone interested in seeing just how expensive this game can be :) mahjong websites that sell designer custom tile sets and accessories...
