Journey To The West Mahjong Collection Early Access

Welcome to the first reveal of our upcoming Journey to the West Mahjong Collection.

This page has been created exclusively for our early access community to preview the tile designs.

The Story of Journey To The West

Journey to the West is one of the most beloved Chinese classics, filled with adventure, loyalty, courage, mischief, and transformation.

At the heart of the story is the legendary pilgrimage of Tang Sanzang and his disciples — Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse — as they travel across distant lands in search of sacred scriptures.

Along the way, they encounter powerful spirits, celestial beings, demons, trials, and temptations. Each character brings a different personality to the journey: wisdom, strength, humour, patience, rebellion, and devotion.

More than just a fantasy adventure, Journey to the West is a story about growth, teamwork, resilience, and overcoming challenges together.

Why Journey to the West Mahjong Collection?

Mahjong has always been more than a game to us. It is a table full of stories, laughter, strategy, family moments, and cultural memories.

When we began developing this collection, we wanted to create something that felt meaningful — not just another beautiful tile set, but one that carries a story people can connect with.

Journey to the West felt like the perfect world to bring into mahjong. Its characters are iconic, expressive, and full of personality. Each one brings a different kind of energy to the table — from Sun Wukong’s fearless spirit to Tang Sanzang’s calm wisdom, Zhu Bajie’s humour, and Sha Wujing’s quiet loyalty.

This collection is our way of celebrating Chinese storytelling through a modern mahjong lens.

While the artwork is designed to feel collectible and visually special, the tile fronts will still follow traditional Chinese mahjong designs for an authentic cultural gameplay experience. We want the set to be beautiful, but also playable, familiar, and respectful to the game’s roots.

As part of our early access community, your feedback will help us refine the final collection before preorder opens. Thank you for being part of this journey from the beginning.

Journey To The West Tile Reveal

Joker Tiles

Joker Tiles – Journey to the West Series

The Joker tiles celebrate the magical world of Journey to the West, one of the most beloved Chinese classics. This special series brings together the main heroes, memorable adversaries, and two meaningful animal forms inspired by Sun Wukong’s legendary battle with Erlang Shen.

Each Joker tile is designed to add personality, storytelling, and cultural charm to the mahjong set. The character fronts follow traditional Chinese-inspired designs, creating an authentic cultural gameplay experience while giving each tile its own unique identity.

Sun Wukong / Monkey King

Clever, bold, and mischievous, Sun Wukong is the legendary Monkey King known for his golden staff, cloud-somersaulting ability, and 72 Transformations. He represents wit, courage, and unstoppable energy.

Zhu Bajie / Pigsy

Playful, humorous, and food-loving, Zhu Bajie brings warmth and comic relief to the journey. Despite his flaws, he is loyal at heart and adds charm, humour, and personality to the group.

Sha Wujing / Sandy

Calm, steady, and dependable, Sha Wujing is the quiet protector of the team. His strength lies in patience, loyalty, and perseverance through every challenge.

Tang Sanzang / Tripitaka Monk

Gentle, wise, and compassionate, Tang Sanzang is the monk leading the pilgrimage to retrieve the sacred scriptures. He represents faith, kindness, and spiritual purpose.

Bull Demon King

Powerful and commanding, the Bull Demon King is one of Sun Wukong’s strongest rivals. His tile adds strength, drama, and a bold mythical presence to the Joker series.

Red Boy

Fiery, fearless, and full of attitude, Red Boy is known for his powerful flame abilities. He brings youthful energy and a fierce adversary spirit to the set.

Spider Spirit

Elegant yet dangerous, the Spider Spirit represents beauty, mystery, and hidden power. Her tile adds a graceful but formidable presence to the adversary lineup.

White Bone Spirit

Cunning, mysterious, and deceptive, White Bone Spirit is one of the most iconic adversaries in Journey to the West. Known for disguising herself to trick Tang Sanzang and test the group’s trust in Sun Wukong, she brings intrigue, illusion, and dramatic tension to the Joker series.

Sparrow Transformation

The sparrow tile is inspired by one of Sun Wukong’s transformations during his battle with Erlang Shen. Small, quick, and clever, it reflects Wukong’s agility and ability to outwit his opponent.

Fish Transformation

The fish tile represents another transformation from Sun Wukong’s battle with Erlang Shen. It captures Wukong’s adaptability, magical skill, and playful escape tactics through the 72 Transformations.

Together, these Joker tiles turn gameplay into a storytelling experience — honouring the spirit of Journey to the West through characters, mythology, transformation, and adventure.

Tile Size & Material Direction

To better showcase the artwork and storytelling details from Journey to the West, we intend to make the tiles slightly larger than standard mahjong tiles.

Each tile will measure approximately 38mm height x 25.4mm width x 16mm thickness, which is about 1.5 inches tall x 1 inch wide x 0.63 inches thick.

The tile will be designed as a two-layer tile: an ivory white front to highlight the engraved artwork clearly, paired with a white beige marble-style back for a refined and collectible finish.

This size and material direction allows the designs to stand out beautifully while still keeping the tiles comfortable for gameplay.

Tile Breakdown
• 1–9 Bams, Cracks, and Dots (4 of each) = 108
• North, East, West, South Winds (4 of each) = 16
• Red, Green, and White Dragons (4 of each) = 12
• Flowers = 8
• Jokers = 10
• Blanks = 6
