Sea Turtle Mahjong Mat - Mah Jongg Table Mat

A green sea turtle glides through sunlit water at the center of this sea turtle mahjong mat, tropical fish and a little clownfish drifting past a coral garden of pink, orange and violet, sunbeams and bubbles rising through the blue. A seaweed band steps out to a shell-and-starfish frame and a rolling wave border.

It reads like a snorkel over the reef. The deep aqua ground keeps tiles easy to read, the turtle holds the center while coral and fish fill the lower edge, and the wave border wraps the play in ocean. Guests get a warm, tropical-water feeling right away.

The Art: Under the Waves

The turtle is painted shell scute by scute in olive and gold, gliding among tangs, a clownfish and swaying kelp over a bright reef of coral and shells. A seaweed band frames the panel, and the outer border sets shells and starfish above a curling wave motif. Detail crowds the reef floor but leaves open water where hands move between rounds. A full underwater reef scene, not a single motif, is what carries this design.

On the Table

Neoprene construction gives it a smooth fabric top over a non-slip rubber base. Shuffle a wall and the soft surface quiets the clatter while staying kind to tile faces. Walls stay put. Racks, jokers and dice hold steady on the low-friction top, and dye-sublimation printing sets the color deep in the fabric so it lasts through years of weekly games without cracking or fading.

Two Sizes: 23.5" or 31.5"

The 23.5" x 23.5" (60 x 60 cm) is a compact square for smaller tables, tighter corners and travel to the club. The 31.5" x 31.5" (80 x 80 cm) is the full-size field most groups pick for a standard card table, with room for four walls, four racks and the discard pile. Size up if your foursome likes elbow room.

A Gift for the Ocean Lover

Brush it off after the game, wipe with a damp cloth if the evening got lively, and store it rolled rather than folded.
