Game Pieces

The cards and tiles the games are played with — a clean teaching style, legible at a glance. A single piece is an atom; a hand or meld is the molecule. Every fixture is generic — never a licensed card.

IP-cleanAll pieces here are generic teaching art. The NMJL card and any licensed card are never reproduced — the full set is itemized in docs/strategy/gameplay-assets.md.
Glyph faceThe symbols on this page are set in --sg-font-glyph, not the brand display face. Clash Display has no glyph for a tile character or a card pip, so both resolved to .notdef and fell through to whatever the browser picked (#12). The token names a 22-codepoint subset of Noto Sans TC instead. ASCII stays on Clash Display: the card rank and the tile caption below are unaffected. This is an interim — the commissioned piece art replaces it. See fonts/README.md.

Playing cards

The card-family piece (Canasta, Bridge, Pinochle, Cribbage…). One corner rank + one center suit, legible at a glance and uncluttered at small sizes.

A♠ · 10♥ · 7♦ · K♣ · Q♠ (selected) · back · 2♣ (dim). A single card is an atom; a hand/meld is the molecule.

Mahjong tiles

The tile-family piece (American + Riichi mahjong). Three numbered suits, the honors, flowers and jokers — recognizing them is itself a lesson, so the iconography reads clearly.

Suits

5 chars (萬) · 9 dots · 3 bamboo — dots and bamboo are drawn pips, not characters

Honors, flowers & jokers

winds east 東 · north 北 · dragons red 中 · green 發 · white (frame) · flower · joker

States & back

selected (lifted) · discarded (dimmed) · back

Hands & melds

Compositions of the piece atoms — the molecule layer. Cards fan with overlap; tiles sit in a rack; a claimed set is a meld.
