Snarky Tiles is open
The store is open. Design all 160 tiles of your own American Mahjong set and have it at your table in 10 to 15 days.
The doors are open. You can design all 160 tiles of your own American Mahjong set, order it, and have it at your table in 10 to 15 days.
We spent a long time saying "soon". This is the other word.
What you can do today
There are three ways to design your set:
- Start from a template. Pick a finished set in the shop and change one tile or all of them.
- Bring your own artwork. Already have your pictures? Upload them and place each one exactly where you want it.
- Design with Madge, our AI designer. Tell her about your world in the Studio: the lake house, the garden, the dog on the flowers. She plans all 160 tiles with you and paints every picture for you to approve. Designing with Madge is free through October 31, up to five sessions. Madge is in beta. She is new and still learning, so expect the odd miss, and tell us when she makes one.
What it costs
A full set is $399 in classic white or $449 in pearl, with free US shipping. It comes with a vegan saffiano carry case ($50 value), a pair of semi-precious stone dice ($20 value) and four reference cards, all included free.
Ordering for Christmas? Order by November 30.
What stands behind it
- The 100% Happiness Guarantee. If something is not right, tell us within 14 days after delivery.
- Tiles for Life, for the tile that ends up behind the couch.
- An honest Color Policy, to read before you order and not after.
To the Founder's Table
You joined a list for a store that did not exist yet. Thank you. Your $50 off your first set is waiting, and the details are in your email.
To the first testers
You ordered before there was a single review to read. What you told us changed how the tiles are laid out and how a set gets approved before we print it. Everyone who orders from here on has you to thank.
If you get stuck
This help center is new too. Start with Starting a set, or write to us. A real person reads everything.
