Miss Catrina: Mahjong Tile Set
Día de los Muertos is marigolds by the armful, candles burning all night, a table set for the people you love... whether or not they're still here to pull up a chair. Miss Catrina is our love letter to that night.
The back of the tile is a deep, warm purple tortoise with a papel picado engraved and painted into it. The tortoise catches light in the corners of every tile, so a stacked wall glows a little at the edges, like a foggy sunset just after dusk.
- Bams are prayer candles lit one by one down the suit
- Dots are sugar skulls and covered in marigolds
- Craks carry papel picado
- Flowers are calaveras cradling stems, blooms, and corsages
- Winds a cemetery at night, lit by candles
- Jokers two unique Catrina designs
She pairs with three coordinating mats: Toile De Los Muertos, Papel Picado; and El Último Refresco (a collaboration with Tigre De Tartán).
Each set includes 160 tiles, 2 dice, and our custom-designed Game Guide.
Miss Catrina is currently scheduled to arrive the week of September 21st. Join the notify list and we'll let you know the moment she's here.
NOTE: tiles should be kept out of direct sunlight, as the acrylic can discolor.
An ofrenda reimagined, Miss Catrina blends hand-painted marigolds, sugar skulls, and papel picado into a Día de los Muertos mahjong tile set honoring the ones we've lost.

HAND-CRAFTED PROCESS
Our tiles are almost entirely hand-crafted - it's amazing to watch them come to life!
- The process begins with cutting the acrylic by hand.
- Next, the tiles are polished to smooth the edges, faces, and backs.
- While a machine engraves the designs and applies paint, the fine details are hand-painted.
Because of this hand-crafted process, you might notice subtle variations in your tiles; proof of the artistry that goes into every set. Your tile set is truly a unique work of art.
