Best Mahjong Tables & Tile Sets To Buy In Singapore (2023 Guide)

From portable, foldable mahjong tables to professional, automatic ones, here’s a list of tables and tile sets to buy for mahjong addicts in Singapore.

Mahjong is undeniably gaining popularity among younger players in Singapore — just open your Instagram app on a weekend night for proof of that. 

One of the reasons why this traditional Chinese game is so commonly played nowadays is because 1) only four people are needed to play, and 2) it’s fun for the group for hours on end (only if you don’t lose money). 

After playing at a friends’ house for some time, you might consider getting a set of your own — it’ll cost you less in the long run (imagine all the Grab rides home on top of your losses) and you can just walk back to your room after an all-night session. 

Last updated on 16 January 2023. Mahjong tables and tiles listed here are subject to change without prior notice.

What is mahjong?

For the uninitiated, mahjong is a popular Chinese game commonly played by four players. The game is played with a set of 144 tiles, with each player receiving 13 tiles each. In order to win, you’ll have to form a complete hand with the fourteenth tile either self-drawn or discarded by other players. 

How to pick your mahjong table

The type of mahjong table and tiles you should get all depends on how often and professionally you play. People who play often (more than once a week) can invest in an automatic table but the price can cost around S$1,000 and up. Such tables are fancier, with most of them including automatic shuffling of tiles and USB chargers. 

People who play less often can opt for a regular table (yes, the one with the iconic green top) with its price hovering around S$60 to S$80. If you’re living in a BTO with limited space, you can go for a foldable or portable table, which we’ll talk about later.  

From one mahjong player to another, here are the top mahjong table and tile sets, across a budget range, for you to choose from for your next mahjong session.

Top seven mahjong tables to buy in Singapore

Xinli PVC foldable mahjong table, S$63

The classic, foolproof mahjong table. At S$63, this table comes with four chip drawers, ashtrays, cup holders as well as added padding for resting your arms. 

Household Foldable Mahjong Table, S$222.52

This mahjong table is lightweight with foldable legs for easy storage. The only downside is that it has no chip drawer.  

Portable Mahjong Table Foldable, S$407.94

I have the exact same mahjong table, and let me tell you, it’s one of the greatest inventions for mahjong addicts ever. This nifty product folds up like a suitcase, making it super convenient to bring almost anywhere, from a friend’s house to staycations. 

I love it because not only does it come with chip drawers, but it is also made out of wood, which makes it super stable. When set up, it becomes a regular sized-table so you don’t have to deal with mini mahjong tiles which, let’s be honest, are not as enjoyable as the normal tiles you’d usually play with. 

Mini Folding Mahjong Table, S$64.22

If you’re on a budget and don’t mind playing with small tiles, this one’s for you. With its 50 x 50cm dimensions, this board is foldable and can be easily carried by hand. 

Simply open this on top of any of your existing tables, and start your game. As this is a mini-sized board, you’ll require mini tiles to play. 

Mahjong Nylon Table Mat, S$16.90

For players who only need the mat’s smooth nylon surface, this mahjong mat will meet your needs. Alternatively, this is also a great way to refresh your current mahjong table and make it look as good as new — much cheaper than buying a completely new table.

Basic Series Auto Mahjong Table, from S$1,188

This is a fully automatic mahjong table that helps you shuffle your dice, tiles and distribute them with a click of a button. This mahjong table comes with the full tile set, chips as well as a wind indicator. The best part? This mahjong table comes with a USB charging port so you can charge your phone while playing at the same time. Great for TikTok mahjong live streamers and regular players. 

Automatic Mahjong Dining Table 2021, S$1,388 

One big turn-off for many people thinking of getting an automatic mahjong table is how heavy it is and the amount of space it takes up, especially for HDB dwellers. You can consider getting this elegant two-in-one mahjong table, which also acts as a dining table when you’re not playing.
