Sam’s Club Members Are Snagging This Chic Mahjong Set That Looks 7x Its Price

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to pick up a new hobby, then Mahjong may be right up your alley. It seems like a ton of people are getting into the traditional Chinese tile game in 2026 (including Joanna Gaines!), not only because it’s fun to play, but also because the tiles and playing setups are so aesthetically pleasing.

Sam’s Club just dropped one of the most beautiful Lunar New Year-themed Mahjong sets for its members, and its designed to get you everything you need as a newcomer to this storied pastime. And honestly? The Year of the Horse motif featured in this set is seriously display-worthy.

In honor of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which kicks off on February 17, Sam’s Club debuted a brand-new Mahjong set that comes with red-and-cream engraved acrylic tiles, matching acrylic racks, scoring chips, dice, and a game mat that features a stunning illustration of a horse. And everything comes in a handy carrying case, so you can bring your set with you anywhere and everywhere. The beginner-friendly set also comes with a player’s guide with full rules, which you can also access via Sam’s Club’s website.

“This one is for my Mahjong lovers!” Leslie from Sam’s Club Simple Savings on Instagram wrote in a recent caption. “I love the quality, it’s great… If you have been thinking about learning how to play, this set is for you! Get it at Sam’s Club for $149.”

So far, the Lunar New Year set has a 4.9-star rating on Sam’s Club website, with shoppers stating you can’t beat the quality for the price. One person shared: “To be honest, I had zero clue what Mahjong even was when I ordered this set. … The moment the box arrived, I was blown away by how hefty it felt. Everything inside says quality, from the beautifully engraved acrylic tiles and sturdy clear racks to the rubber-bottomed mat, leather case, and carrying bag that make the whole setup feel truly luxurious.”

This actually isn’t the only Mahjong set Sam’s Club carries. There are two more beginner-friendly kits available for purchase through the website — one features a floral aesthetic, and the other is called “Cirquejong” with cheery colors and patterns you might find under a circus tent. 

If you don’t have a Sam’s Club membership, there is a similar Mahjong set available on Amazon, albeit a bit more expensive. This set, which is loaded with tiles, racks, scoring chips, and dice, also comes in its own convenient carrying tote so you can take your Mahjong on the go.

We’re calling it: Mahjong is the new pickleball! Hop on this trend, learn something new, and add a beautiful set to your game collection. The Lunar New Year set will only be available as long as we’re in the Year of the Horse, so grab this set now and get ready to have a blast.
