Frequently Asked Questions
What game rules are printed on the mat?
Charleston 1 (required — Right Over Left), Charleston 2 (optional — Left Over Right), the option to pass 0–3 tiles, the Joker rule (Jokers cannot be used in singles or pairs), and suit color reminders: Craks = Red Dragon, Bams = Green Dragon, Dots = Soap.
What size is the Paradiso mat?
36" × 36". It fits most standard dining and card tables and gives four players room for their racks, walls, and discards without crowding.
Does the mat pair with the Paradiso Tile Set?
It's designed to. The mat and tile set share the same tropical artwork — toucans, iguanas, hibiscus, monstera — so they look intentional together on the table rather than like two things you happened to own.

Do the mats work with any tile set?
Yes. The playing surface is sized for standard American mahjong tile sets. The open center has no brand-specific layout — it works with whatever tiles and racks you already own.
How do I clean my mat?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Air dry flat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Can I fold the mat for storage?
Roll it, don't fold it. Folding creates permanent creases that warp the surface. A rolled mat stores flat on a shelf or in a tube.
Will the mat protect my table?
Yes. The non-slip backing keeps the mat in place and the padded surface absorbs tile impacts — no scratching, no skidding.
