Butterfly Garden is the mahjong set for a table that is always set up. Cream tiles carry butterflies, bamboo stalks and nine Chinese blessing characters, while the bodies are built from four bonded acrylic layers in pink, green and blue — so every edge flashes a pastel stripe as the tiles turn. It is the set that makes an ordinary Tuesday feel like an occasion.

Why You'll Love It

  • Butterfly Dots, One Through Nine — Each dot tile is painted with butterflies that multiply as the number grows, in yellow, orange, teal, blue and pink, so the suit is readable by color before you even count.
  • Bamboo Bams With Hidden Friends — Green bamboo stalks carry tiny surprises: a blue bird sitting on a speckled green egg on the 1 Bam, a giraffe tucked between the stalks on the 7 Bam, and a perching bird on the 8.
  • Nine Chinese Blessing Characters — Instead of the traditional 萬 numerals, the character suit spells out 龙 寿 和 富 春 喜 福 爱 平 — dragon, longevity, harmony, wealth, spring, joy, blessing, love and peace — painted in mint, pink and sky blue.
  • A Numeral In The Corner Of Every Tile — Every suit tile carries its number small in the top-left corner, so a first-time player can read a hand at a glance instead of guessing a butterfly count.
  • Four-Layer Striped Acrylic — Cream face layers sit over pink, green and blue color bands, giving each tile a crisp triple stripe along the edge and a soft sky-blue turn on the back.
  • Script Winds and a Carousel Joker — North, East, West and South appear as looping script letters in four colors with butterfly accents, and the Joker is a pastel carousel tent.
  • Engraved and Painted, Not Printed — The artwork sits in a carved groove and is hand-filled with color, so it will not rub off or fade after a hundred shuffles the way surface printing does.
  • Free Carry Bag and 4 Rule Cards — Ships with a matching carry bag and four official American mahjong rule cards, so it is gift-ready the day it lands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing Your Set
Every USA Mahjong set includes 160 tiles: 36 each of Dots, Bams and Craks, 16 Winds, 12 Dragons, 8 Flowers, 10 Jokers and 6 Blanks. American mahjong is played with 152 tiles under NMJL rules, so your set includes extra jokers and spare blanks — you are covered even if a tile gets lost over the years.
Yes. Every set is designed specifically for American mahjong as governed by the National Mah Jongg League (NMJL), including the jokers and flowers the game requires. Pair your set with the current year's NMJL card and you are ready to play.
Melamine is the classic material experienced players know: dense, matte and weighty, with the traditional tile clack. Melamine sets start at $99.90. Acrylic is the premium option: glossy and jewel-like, with vivid color and crisp engraving, priced $149–$229. Both are fully NMJL compliant.
Standard American tournament size. Depending on the design, individual tiles measure approximately 0.91 to 0.98 inches wide, 0.59 inches deep and 1.26 to 1.42 inches high. Exact dimensions are listed on each product page.
Every set includes the 160 tiles, a matching carry bag and four official American mahjong rule cards. Acrylic racks with pushers are sold separately at $7 each, and a travel rack-and-bag kit is available for $39.90 — so you can mix and match exactly what you need.
Both, depending on the design. Engraved designs are carved into the tile and hand-filled with color; printed designs are embedded and sealed into the tile surface. Either way, the artwork resists scratching and fading through years of shuffling.
A melamine set at $99.90 is a friendly starting point — same 160 tiles, same playability. If it is a gift or you know you will play weekly, choose an acrylic design you love. Either way, your set includes four rule cards, and our free guides and practice game will have you playing within days.
Any acrylic design from our Luxury Mahjong Set collection — premium feel, and every set ships gift-ready with a carry bag and four rule cards. Not sure which design they will love? A gift card lets them choose.
