Best Chinese mahjong sets
Chinese mahjong is the original game — no jokers, no racks, no Western indices on authentic sets — and it is also the best value in mahjong: every set here is a complete kit. Choose by tile size: large (about 1.6 in) for presence and readability, champion for a slightly slimmer large tile, medium for small tables and travel.
Yellow Mountain Imports Chinese Set — Azure Fortune — Large-tile Chinese play
Azure Fortune is the Chinese set for players who like their tiles big: 1.6 in large melamine with traditional characters only — no Arabic numerals, no jokers, because Chinese rules do not use them. The aluminum case and cobalt backs make it the best-looking Chinese set in the YMI line under $110.

Yellow Mountain Imports Chinese Set — Bleau Opal — The portable Chinese starter set
Bleau Opal is the lightest, cheapest way into authentic Chinese mahjong from a name brand: medium tiles, a compact 9 lb carry, and a teal bamboo motif that looks far above its $61 sale price. Choose medium tiles if your table is small or the set will travel.
