The Mahjong Set

The best competition happens after dinner.

The Mahjong Set is a leather case that comes with a set of mahjong tiles and turns a standing weekly game into a night worth looking forward to. Not every match in the Andar Sporting Club lineup happens on a court or a course. This one plays out around a table, where the friendly trash talk runs just as deep and the scores matter just as much.

A carry handle and two latches bring it from the shelf to the table, and the lid opens to tiles sorted in a lined tray, with an open channel running down the middle. The tray lifts out when it’s time to play, so setup takes a minute and cleanup takes even less. When the last round wraps up, every tile goes back in its place and the case heads back to the shelf until next week.

May the luckiest hand win.
