Description
keyboard_arrow_downThis needs saying at the top. A full Riichi set is 136 tiles. At 88, this is a partial complement, and it will not play a complete four player game.
What it is good for is study. Riichi players spend a great deal of time drilling hand shapes, working through tenpai problems and learning to read wait patterns, and all of that is done with a subset of tiles on a desk rather than a full wall.
Riichi tiles differ from Chinese ones in small but consistent ways, and the differences matter when moving between an online client and a physical table. Handling the same faces you see on screen shortens that transition considerably.
Players working through problems away from a table. Someone teaching hand patterns to a beginner without setting up a full game. Anyone who wants to handle tiles before deciding whether to buy a proper set.
It is not a first set for playing, and it should not be sold as one.
Confirm exactly which tiles the 88 comprises. A subset built around the three suits is useful for drilling; one assembled arbitrarily is not.
If the aim is to play rather than study, a full 136 tile set is the purchase, and this one will disappoint regardless of price.
For reference, a complete Riichi set is 136 tiles: 108 across the three suits, 16 winds and 12 dragons. No flowers. Most modern sets add red fives.
Barely damp cloth. Keep the count together, because a study set that has lost tiles stops being usable for the drills it exists for.

Experience the timeless joy of Mahjong with beautifully crafted sets designed for both play and display.
Whether you’re hosting a casual game night or learning the game for the first time, our collections bring together strategy, fun, and a premium aesthetic that makes every session feel special.
At the beginning of the game, all Mahjong tiles are shuffled face down on the table. Each player then stacks their tiles into a wall. Once the walls are connected together, every player draws their starting hand of tiles.
Players take turns drawing one tile and discarding another. The goal is to slowly build the perfect combination of sequences, pairs, and matching sets while paying attention to the tiles discarded by opponents.
Win the game by completing a full Mahjong hand before the other players. Strategy, observation, and timing are key — every decision can change the outcome of the game and make each round exciting and unique.
More than just a board game, each Mahjong set is a true collector’s piece. From elegant tiles to unique designs and premium finishes, every detail is made to stand out.
Build your own collection, showcase your favorite sets at home, and enjoy products that combine entertainment with beautiful décor.
Discover why hundreds of Mahjong enthusiasts choose The Mahjong Corner for premium quality sets, elegant designs, and unforgettable game nights.

The suits are the same three and the honours are the same winds and dragons, but the faces follow Japanese conventions and the count differs: 136 tiles with no flowers, against 144 in the Chinese game. Modern sets also add red fives. Handling the same faces you see in an online client shortens the move to a physical table, which is much of what this 88 tile set is for.
Tile count first: the Chinese game uses 144 with flowers and seasons, the Japanese game 136 with neither. The rules diverge from there, Riichi being built around declaring a ready hand, with scores settled every hand in han and fu and point sticks changing hands at the table. This is a partial Japanese set at 88 tiles, made for drilling shapes rather than playing a full game.
Collectively they are mahjong pai. The three suits are manzu, the character tiles, pinzu, the circles, and souzu, the bamboos, while the winds and dragons together are the jihai, or honour tiles. The vocabulary matters more in Riichi than elsewhere, since guides and online clients name hands and waits with it, and these tiles carry the Japanese faces those terms describe.
Cost follows the moulding. A full set runs to well over a hundred pieces, each cast, engraved and inked to a consistent size, and a case or a set of racks adds to that before anything ships. Weight then makes delivery costly on its own. A partial set like this one, 88 tiles at 0.3 kg with no case, avoids most of that, which is why it works for study without committing to a full set.
