Quietly adventurous, beautifully detailed, and inspired by the refined atmosphere of a winter retreat, **Northern Bear** brings snow-covered mountains, alpine traditions, and the warmth of gathering together to the American Mahjong table. Across the collection, polar bears ski, snowboard, ride mountain gondolas, explore snowy trails, and share peaceful moments beneath the northern sky. Alpine flowers, evergreen forests, ski flags, mountain peaks and winter emblems come together to create a complete visual world that feels playful without becoming childish and seasonal without feeling overly festive. Warm ivory tile faces are paired with glacier blue, deep pine green, coral red, soft golden ochre and cool mountain neutrals. The result is a distinctive 160-tile American Mahjong set designed for elegant game rooms, winter gatherings, ski-house weekends and memorable gifting. Each oversized tile measures: **1.5 in H x 1 in W x 0.6 in D** **Approximately 38.1 x 25.4 x 15.2 mm** The generous playing surface allows the numbers, suit markings and illustrated details to remain clear and easy to recognize. The added thickness creates a more substantial presence in the hand, giving every shuffle, stack and play a satisfying sense of weight and quality. ## Inspired by Life in the North Northern Bear is inspired by more than winter scenery. It captures the feeling of arriving at a quiet mountain retreat, watching snow fall beyond the windows, gathering around the table and spending time with people who matter. The polar bear represents quiet confidence, resilience and companionship. The mountains represent exploration. The snow represents stillness and renewal. The Mahjong table represents warmth, friendship and time shared together. Rather than applying a few winter illustrations to a standard Mahjong set, Northern Bear has been designed as one cohesive collection. Every suit, Wind, Dragon, Flower and Joker belongs to the same alpine world. From the smallest snowflake to the signature polar bear characters, each tile contributes to the story. ## Oversized Tiles for Greater Visibility Northern Bear features an intentionally oversized tile format. Each tile measures: **1.5 in H x 1 in W x 0.6 in D** **38.1 x 25.4 x 15.2 mm** The larger tile face provides more room for clear Arabic numerals, suit information, directional markings and illustrated details. This makes the tiles easier to distinguish at a glance and more comfortable to read from across the table, especially during fast-moving games, group play or longer Mahjong sessions. The increased thickness also gives the tiles a more substantial and luxurious feel. They sit confidently on the table and feel satisfying to pick up, arrange, shuffle and place on a rack. Northern Bear is designed for players who value clarity, tactile quality and a beautiful table presentation. ## Clear American Mahjong Markings Decorative artwork should never make a Mahjong set difficult to play. Northern Bear balances detailed winter illustrations with practical American Mahjong markings. Large Arabic numerals appear clearly on the suited tiles, while familiar labels identify the Winds, Dragons, Jokers and special tiles. The oversized surface gives the artwork and playing information enough room to breathe. This reduces visual crowding and helps players identify each tile quickly. The set is approachable for newer players while remaining functional and familiar for experienced American Mahjong groups. ## Alpine Badge Dots The Dot suit is reimagined as a collection of miniature alpine emblems. Circular badges feature polar bears, snowflakes, mountain peaks, ski goggles and other winter symbols. Each motif is placed within a clean, countable arrangement that preserves the practical rhythm of the traditional Dot suit. Glacier blue, deep pine, coral red and golden ochre create visual variety while keeping the complete suit coordinated. The result feels like a collection of vintage ski-club badges interpreted through a polished contemporary palette. ## Mountain Craks The Crak suit combines traditional red Chinese numerals with snowy mountain landscapes. Bold red characters provide strong contrast against the warm ivory tile faces, while glacier-blue peaks and deep evergreen details establish the alpine setting. Small snowflake accents appear throughout the suit, connecting the traditional characters to the winter story without interfering with readability. The Mountain Craks preserve the visual strength of classic Mahjong while giving the suit a distinctive Northern Bear identity. ## Slope-Flag Bams The Bam suit is transformed into a series of colorful ski-course flags. Coral red, glacier blue and golden ochre flags rise above snowy mountain bases, creating a pattern that is graphic, easy to count and immediately recognizable. The flags reference alpine trails, ski schools and mountain competition while maintaining the repeated visual structure expected from a numbered Mahjong suit. This interpretation gives Northern Bear one of its most recognizable design elements and connects the collection directly to winter sport and mountain culture. ## Polar Bear Winds The Wind tiles introduce four illustrated polar bear scenes representing North, East, West and South. Each bear has its own activity and personality, turning the familiar directional tiles into miniature winter stories. Skiing, mountain exploration, lift rides and snowboarding help distinguish the four directions while remaining connected through a shared color palette and landscape style. The directional letters remain large and easy to identify, allowing the Winds to feel decorative without sacrificing functionality. Together, the four Wind tiles capture the adventurous and sociable character of the Northern Bear collection. ## Winter Dragons The three Dragon tiles are reimagined through iconic alpine imagery. **Red Dragon** is represented by a red mountain gondola carrying a polar bear above the snowy landscape. **Green Dragon** features a deep evergreen forest beneath a winter sun, symbolizing strength, endurance and the quiet life of the mountains. **White Dragon, or Soap,** is framed as an open snowfield bordered by evergreen trees and glacier-blue peaks. Each Dragon has its own visual identity while remaining consistent with the full collection. ## Alpine Flowers The eight Flower tiles celebrate the plants, colors and details of the winter landscape. Edelweiss, red alpine blossoms, winter berries, golden flowers, blue mountain blooms, pine cones, tulips, skis and goggles appear throughout the series. These Flowers introduce softer botanical forms to balance the graphic flags, mountains and snowflakes found in the numbered suits. Each Flower is individually illustrated and clearly numbered, making the complete group easy to identify during play. ## Signature Polar Bear Jokers The Jokers are the emotional center of Northern Bear. Polar bears snowboard, prepare for a day on the slopes, carry skis and share a quiet family moment in the snow. These illustrations bring warmth, humor and personality to the set while remaining sophisticated enough for adult game rooms and premium gifting. The bears are expressive without feeling cartoonish. Their winter clothing, equipment and surroundings connect them naturally to the alpine setting. When the Jokers appear during play, they feel like small collectible scenes from the Northern Bear world. ## Snowflake Tile Backs The reverse side of every tile features a centered blue snowflake. The design is simple, balanced and immediately recognizable. When the tiles are arranged into walls or placed face down across the table, the repeated snowflake creates a calm and elegant visual rhythm. Its restrained design complements the more detailed tile faces while reinforcing the winter identity of the collection. The snowflake back is distinctive enough to make Northern Bear memorable without overwhelming the table. ## A Refined Winter Color Palette The Northern Bear palette combines: - Warm winter ivory - Glacier blue - Misty blue-gray - Deep pine green - Coral red - Soft golden ochre - Cool mountain neutrals The ivory faces keep the tiles bright and readable. Glacier blue and misty blue-gray evoke snow, ice and distant mountain light. Deep pine brings depth and natural contrast. Coral red adds energy and connects the collection to traditional Mahjong color symbolism, while golden ochre introduces warmth without appearing overly metallic or decorative. The overall palette feels seasonal but not limited to Christmas, making the set suitable for use and display throughout the year. ## Designed for American Mahjong Northern Bear is designed specifically for **American Mahjong play**. Clear Arabic numerals, directional letters, Flowers, Jokers, Dragons and blank tiles make the collection practical for established players and welcoming for beginners. The complete 160-tile configuration provides the additional Flowers, Jokers and blanks expected in a full American Mahjong set. Its oversized format is especially suitable for players who prefer larger markings, clearer visibility and a more substantial playing experience. ## 160-Tile Breakdown The complete Northern Bear set contains: - 1-9 Bams, Craks and Dots - four of each: 108 tiles - North, East, West and South Winds - four of each: 16 tiles - Red, Green and White Dragons - four of each: 12 tiles - Flowers: 8 tiles - Jokers: 10 tiles - Blank tiles: 6 tiles **Total: 160 tiles** ## What’s Included - 160 oversized American Mahjong tiles - Coordinated tile storage bag - Dice - Scoring chips - Wind indicator - American Mahjong reference materials - Coordinated storage and gift box The complete collection is designed for convenient storage, travel, game nights and gifting. ## A More Substantial Playing Experience The oversized proportions give Northern Bear a noticeably more substantial presence.

Northern Bear is designed to remain part of the room. The warm ivory tiles, alpine colors, snowy landscapes and signature polar bear illustrations make the set a distinctive decorative object for a game room, coffee table, bookshelf or open cabinet. Up close, each tile reveals another detail: a snowflake, a mountain peak, a ski flag, a winter flower or a polar bear beginning a new adventure. It is a collection about exploration, companionship and the pleasure of gathering around the table. ## Care Instructions Keep the tiles clean and dry. After play, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not submerge the tiles in water or use alcohol, abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may affect the printed artwork and polished surface. Store the complete set in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong direct sunlight, excessive heat or moisture to help preserve the colors, artwork and finish. ## Product Notes Minor variations in printing, color, pattern placement, weight and surface finish may occur as part of the production process. Colors may appear slightly different depending on photography, lighting conditions and individual screen settings. Please review the dimensions carefully before purchasing. Northern Bear features a deliberately larger and more substantial format than many compact Mahjong sets. # Northern Bear **Follow the North. Gather around the table.** 循雪而来，围桌相聚。 |
