What's New for 2026
Mahjong's Moment Continues
The game's resurgence shows no signs of slowing. The Washington Post reports millennials are trading Saturday nights out for mah-jongg nights in, drawn by “the combination of luck, skill and socialization.” Eventbrite data shows a 179% increase in U.S. mahjong events from 2023 to 2024. Meanwhile, Town & Country notes tiles are “clacking in the well-decorated homes of the urban elite” — a sign that quality sets are in higher demand than ever.
NMJL 2026 Card Arriving This Spring
The National Mah Jongg League releases its new card each spring, changing the hands you'll play all year. If you're buying your first set, don't worry — the tiles themselves never change. Pre-orders for the 2026 card are open now ($15 for large print), with cards shipping late March.
New Designs from Top Brands
Oh My Mahjong continues expanding with new colorways and their Agate Rack & Pusher Set. They've also launched an International Mahjong Card designed for accessibility, including players with color-vision differences. The Mahjong Line collaborated with I Love Mahj on The Big Card 2026, donating 30% of sales to Make-A-Wish®.
