Est. for the long game
Mahjong,
well kept.
Sets, table goods, and a hosting culture for people who actually play. Stocked for the Tuesday-night game and the once-a-year holiday table alike.
A product company.
Tiles, racks, mats, cases, cards. Made to be played with for a long time, and to be passed down.
A teaching practice.
A clear on-ramp for the curious, and depth for the lifer. The American game first, the broader tradition with respect.
A hosting culture.
The game lives at the table. We stock the table -- snacks, dishes, score pads, the right card holder.
Three sets. One for every kind of game you play.
The Charleston is not throat-clearing.
The three rounds of tile-passing are the first negotiation of the night. Treat them that way and the rest of your hand changes shape.
Read the pieceThe house
Two players. One household. Two mahjong traditions on the same shelf. That is where the catalog comes from, and why we can stock both ends of it.
