Racks and pushers
Check the rack is made for your tile size and holds two rows for the wall. A table usually plays with four racks, one for each player.
Mahjong Buying Guide
How to choose racks, mats, bags and card holders that fit your tiles and your table – and what to measure before you order.
Choose in four steps
-
1
Measure your tiles
Most important
Racks, pushers and cases are made for a tile size. Measure the length, width and thickness of one tile before you choose.
-
2
Measure your table
For mats
Measure the table top edge to edge. A mat should cover the playing area with the racks on it and still lie flat.
-
3
Count what you carry
For bags and cases
Make sure a bag or case holds your full set – tiles, racks, pushers, dice and coins – so everything travels together.

How to measure
Use a ruler or tape measure and note the numbers before you shop.
| Measurement | How to measure it | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Tile length and width | Lay one tile face up and measure the long and the short edge | Racks, pushers, cases |
| Tile thickness | Stand a tile on its edge and measure from front to back | Rack grooves, pushers, cases |
| Table top | Measure across the table edge to edge, in both directions | Mats and table covers |
| Your card | Measure the card you play with, open and folded | Card holders |
| Your full set | Note the tile count and everything else you carry: racks, dice, coins, mat | Bags and cases |
What to look for, by product type
Mahjong mats
Choose a size that covers your table top. Neoprene and rubber-backed mats stay in place and soften the sound of the tiles; check whether the mat folds or rolls for storage.
Bags and cases
Compare the inside size with your tiles and racks. Hard cases protect a set best; soft bags are lighter to carry to game night.
American mahjong sets
Look for the tile count and what is included: jokers, racks, pushers, dice and a case. American mahjong uses jokers – a set without them is made for a different game.
Card holders
Check whether the holder fits the standard or the large-print card, and whether it stands up on the table.
Coins, dice and gifts
Scoring coins and dice come in sets; check the count in the product name so there are enough for every player.
Care tips
Keep tiles and mats away from direct heat and long spells of strong sunlight, wipe tiles with a soft, damp cloth, and let mats dry fully before folding them away. Keep small pieces such as dice and coins away from young children.
