There are three suits of number tiles each with sequences from one to nine. The three suits are the ''wan'' (characters), the ''pinzu'' (coins/circles)<!--Coins seems to be the best from a historical viewpoint and they do look like coins. Oh, but pinzu may actually mean circles in Japanese.-->, and the ''sou'' (bamboos). These three suits have the value of 1-9 according to their own suit. The face of the one of bamboo tiles have a bird design on them. The number one and nine tiles are called terminals. The number two through eight tiles are called simples. Runs don't wrap-around from nine to one. | There are three suits of number tiles each with sequences from one to nine.
