The Three Suits

Identify dots, bamboo, and characters from one to nine.

Concept

Every suited tile has two facts.

The three suits are Dots, Bamboos, and Characters. Each suit runs from 1 through 9, and there are four copies of each tile.

A 3 Bamboo is different from a 3 Dot. The habit to build is reading both the number and the suit.

Rule in plain English

Same number is not enough.

A sequence needs consecutive numbers in the same suit.
