How to read this table
Jokers. A standard game needs 8. Most sets include 10, which gives you spares. A set with no jokers is a Chinese set.
Tile height. Standard American tiles are about 1.2 to 1.25 inches tall. Travel tiles can be as small as 3/4 inch, which is harder to read across a table.
Racks. American players use racks with pushers. Designer sets usually sell them separately, so budget roughly $100 to $175 more.
