The Tile Key: Every Tile, Named

Every tile in every Mahjong Bear set, named. Print it, keep it by the table, or check it before you buy.

The rule that works for every set: blue is Dots, green is Bams, red is Craks, with the number in the corner. Dragons sit in a frame of their suit color, and flowers and jokers are labeled in words.
