Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use magnetic tiles for manual play?
Absolutely. While they are designed for automatic tables, magnetic mahjong tiles are typically heavier and feel more substantial, making them a favorite for manual play as well.
What is the difference between Chinese and American Mahjong tiles?
Chinese sets typically contain 144 tiles. American sets (NMJL) usually require 152 tiles, including Jokers. Our American collection includes the necessary 8 Jokers and features Western numerals for easier identification.
How do I clean my mahjong tiles?
We recommend using a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the tiles in water, as this can damage the paint in the engravings. For magnetic tiles, a dedicated tile cleaning spray is recommended to maintain the smooth glide required for automatic machines.
