SEASONS Mahjong by MJLA
Crisloid ushers in a new era with this striking Mahjong offering. We have created SEASONS Mahjong by MJLA, a set that marries the rich history of this time-honored game with a fresh, modern style. This set is designed for American syle mahjong play and is compatible with NMJL rules.
ABOUT THE SET
We first introduced the Seasons set in 2018 and have now refreshed it for 2023 and beyond. The paint colors have been updated to improve playability, and the overall colorway was adjusted to reflect a cohesive aesthetic. The new colors on the hand-painted tiles coordinate beautifully with the butter-yellow mahjong tiles, which are complemented by translucent yellow dice. This set includes hardwood racks and pushers that are stained a cheery yellow. The length of the racks has been increased so they will easily hold 19 tiles. This unique mahjong set now comes with a pair of eye-catching red cloth carrying bags that are made in Rhode Island by an independent sewist.
The Seasons mahjong set features minimalist, hand drawn art in a mid-century modern design that honors the traditional suits of mahjong. Stylized trees in seasonal colors are used as flower tiles. The traditional Dragon is re-imagined as a dragonfly, and the White Dragon (soap) is a playful interpretation of the classic tile. The Winds and Jokers represent the creators’ lifelong passion for text and fonts. Their love of words and humor is best reflected in the Jokers, because, as we all know, “Everybody Loves A Joker”. The Dots, Bams and Craks pay homage to Mahjong’s illustrious past.

Debbi Ann Layfield –
Another BEAUTIFUL mahjongg set, and AMERICAN made! Quality product all the way. There’s no other mahjongg tile that makes that distinctive Crisloid clink! The switch to a fabric carry bag was THE BEST DECISION you folks ever made; its so compact and much lighter weight, so easy to carry! The tiles are nicely painted, quality checked, perfect. Pretty butter color tiles on bright yellow racks. Nicely revamped, I love it! Whomever wraps the tile sets should be a professional gift wrapper!
