Chinese Mahjong Set
Chinese mahjong sets typically include 144 tiles, a wind indicator, chips, and dice. They include the tiles needed to play most forms of Asian mahjong but lack the joker tiles needed to play American mahjong, and red tiles to play Japanese mahjong. Sets can be purchased with or without numbering.

Dice
Dice are used to determine seating and wall breaking. Typical sets come with two to three dice. Any type of six-sided dice would suffice. However, mahjong dice are noticeably smaller than normal board game dice, with number one and four colored red and rounded corners.
