The set rides to every game in a tote, along with the racks, the mat and whatever snacks it is your turn to bring. This mahjong tote bag carries the question the whole table asks the minute the Charleston starts.
WHICH WAY ARE WE PASSING? runs across the top in huge, heavy capitals, big enough to read from the far side of the table. Underneath, three chunky arrows shoot out from one hub, left, straight across and right, so the answer to the question is all of them at once. Each direction carries exactly three plain tile backs in thick borders, because a Charleston pass is always three tiles. Flat, bold and drawn in three inks, with nothing on the tiles but their backs.
Long shoulder handles and a roomy interior, with space for your set, your racks and the snacks.
Buying for the group? It is an easy pick for the holiday gift exchange, a thank-you for the friend who hosts every week, or a welcome for the newest player who still needs something to carry her first set in.
Pack the tiles. Bring the question.
