Yellow Mountain Imports Sapphire Mahjong Set vs Yellow Mountain Imports Huntington Mahjong Set

The Huntington is the better set for most shoppers. It scores higher with owners (4.9 from 82 ratings versus 4.6 from 35), and buyers consistently call its tiles beautiful and hefty and its racks and tote well made. Both are 166-tile American sets from Yellow Mountain Imports with the same tile size, wooden racks, wind indicator, scoring coins, dice and instruction book, and neither includes scorecards. The Sapphire's ivory-tone tiles draw complaints about a yellow tint and blurry engravings, while the Huntington's green-striped tiles get almost no quality complaints.

  • Choose the Sapphire if you want a classic ivory-look set in a lighter fabric case and you are not fussy about engraving crispness.
  • Choose the Huntington if you want the higher-rated set with better-reviewed tiles and a sturdier compartmentalized tote.
