Under $80 — starter American sets & tiles

Good when you want a complete 166-tile kit with racks without a big outlay, or tiles-only if you already have racks.

$80–$200 — mid-range complete sets

Most of these are Yellow Mountain Imports soft-case or wood-case American sets in the mid price band from our scrape.

$200+ — premium & designer tiles

Includes a higher-end YMI set plus designer acrylic lines (Oh My Mahjong, Southern Sparrow, The Mahjong Line). Many designer SKUs are tiles only — plan for racks separately and use the size checker.
