Emerald Papillon American Mahjong Tiles Set | 160 Premium Resin Tiles

Emerald Papillon is a butterfly study you can shuffle. Deep emerald green backs meet cream-white faces hand-illustrated in a vintage naturalist style — the kind of plates you’d find in a Victorian butterfly book, drawn in antique gold, moss green, oxblood red and ink. Every suit was redrawn around the theme, so the set feels collected rather than manufactured.

🦋 A Victorian Butterfly Study, Tile by Tile

The craks carry the classic Chinese characters inside vintage arched frames, each crowned with a small butterfly. Bams become hanging butterfly chimes — delicate wings strung from brass rods, one butterfly on tile 1 up to a full mobile on tile 9. Dots are flower medallions with a butterfly at the center, ringed in alternating antique colors that stay easy to read mid-game.

🐍 Banners, Moons & Heirloom Frames

The winds hang as velvet banners — gold N, purple W, green E, red S — each lettered in classic style. Dragons get ornate heirloom frames: an arch for R, a hanging pendant for G, and a round keepsake frame for SOAP. And every joker is a crescent moon with a butterfly resting on it — ten little pieces of night sky.

🌿 Eight Botanical Flower Tiles

The flower and season tiles are an unnumbered garden: peony, poppy, daffodil, lily of the valley, iris, marigold, plum blossom and violets — each paired with a butterfly or moth, illustrated like botanical plates from an old reference book.

💚 Deep Emerald Green Backs

Every tile’s back is a saturated emerald green with a soft glow under light — rich against cream faces, and instantly recognizable across the table. Polished, weighted resin gives a satisfying heft and a crisp shuffle sound.

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.
