Description
🌼 Dala Horse Garden American Mahjong Set
Some game nights feel like a gathering of old friends in a sunlit garden. The Dala Horse Garden American Mahjong Set brings that feeling to your table, inspired by the painted gardens of Swedish Dalarna folk art, where every flower, bird and scroll was drawn with care and meant to bring joy into the home.
At the heart of the set is the Dala horse, long regarded as Sweden’s symbol of good luck, painted on every Joker. A folk-style peacock, the garden’s bird of paradise, opens the Bam suit. Norwegian eight-petal stars mark the Winds, and Norse dragons with knotted tails guard the Dragon tiles.
The glossy cream tiles are finished in a warm Scandinavian palette of navy, red, ochre gold, deep green, sage and blush pink. Turn them over and you’ll find glossy navy backs with a gold Norse-inspired knot: a set as lovely on your shelf as it is on your table.

🀄 Scandinavian Folk Art Tile Artwork
Every tile draws on a real Nordic folk tradition, so the whole set tells one story.
- Dots: red folk rosettes with red numerals, like the hand-painted flowers on Scandinavian woodwork.
- Bams: deep green bamboo stalks crowned with ochre tulip buds, with green numerals. The 1 Bam features a folk-style peacock whose tail feathers end in tiny hearts, keeping mahjong’s tradition of a bird on the 1 Bam.
- Craks: classic red Chinese numerals above a kurbits tulip, honoring mahjong’s origins.
- Winds: the Norwegian eight-petal knitting star, with a large N, E, W or S at its center.
- Dragons & Soap: S-shaped Norse dragons with knotted tails in the style of Viking wood carving, one red and one green. The Soap tile is a navy frame trimmed with tulips and curling leaves, like the frame of a folk wall painting.
- Flowers: eight Nordic blooms: rosemaling rose, daffodil (Sweden’s Easter flower), harebell, lingonberry, cornflower, wild rose, Midsummer daisy and kurbits tulip.
- Jokers: a classic red Dala horse with a navy mane and a kurbits-painted saddle. As the story goes, Dalarna woodcarvers once traded their carved horses for food and lodging: a little horse that could be exchanged for anything, just like a Joker that can stand in for any tile.
✨ Premium Acrylic Tiles with Engraved Artwork
Each design is precision-engraved into premium acrylic, then hand color-filled one color at a time. Because the artwork sits inside the tile rather than on its surface, it won’t fade, peel or wear off.
The tiles have smooth rounded corners and are weighted to land with a satisfying click on your mat. From the side, four layers of acrylic show stripes of cream, ochre gold, red and navy. The glossy navy backs carry an engraved, gold-filled Norse-inspired knot that echoes the knotted tails of the dragons.
