A 44 piece set of counting sticks in black or red, the traditional way of settling points without a pad and pen.

Description
keyboard_arrow_downCounting sticks predate score pads by a long way and they persist because they are better at the table. Each stick carries a denomination, marked by dots along its length, and settlement happens by passing sticks between players as the hand ends.
The advantage over paper is that the state of the game is visible. Everyone can see roughly where everyone else stands without asking, which changes how the later hands are played.
Riichi in particular is built around them. Declaring riichi requires placing a stick on the table, and that stick becomes part of the pot. Without sticks, the declaration has to be improvised with a coin or a note, which works and feels wrong.
Any Riichi set that arrived without sticks is incomplete, and this is what completes it.
Enough spread for four players through a long evening. Sets sold with twenty or so run short by the third hour, at which point somebody starts making change with tiles.
Either works. Two colours are useful if a group owns more than one set, or if players want their own colour to avoid confusion during settlement.
Wipe clean. Keep them bundled rather than loose in a tile bag, since sticks are thin and snap when something heavy lands on them.

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.

They are the traditional way of holding points at the table. Each stick carries a denomination, marked by the dots printed along its length, and settlement happens by passing sticks across as a hand ends rather than writing totals on a pad. Everyone can see roughly where everyone else stands, which affects how the later hands are played. This set is 44 pieces in black or red and weighs 0.15 kg.
The game reached the United States in the 1920s craze and stayed longest in Jewish American communities, where the weekly game became a lasting social institution passed between generations. The National Mah Jongg League, founded in New York in 1937, standardised the American rules and still issues the annual card that hands are built from. That American game keeps score from the card, while sticks belong to the Chinese and Japanese versions.
Two jobs. They settle each hand as it finishes, so nothing has to be reconstructed from a pad two hours later, and in the Japanese game they are part of the rules. Declaring riichi means placing a thousand point stick on the table, where it stays and goes to whoever wins the hand. A Riichi set that arrived without sticks is incomplete, and 44 pieces is enough spread to carry four players through a long evening.
It describes how the numbers in a suit group. Because runs are three tiles long, 1, 4 and 7 sit in the same family, as do 2, 5 and 8, and 3, 6 and 9. Players use it when deciding what to keep early: a 4 connects in more directions than a 1, so the terminal usually goes first. It is a Chinese and Japanese habit rather than a written rule, and it has nothing to do with how sticks are exchanged.
