Bamboo (索子 / Souzu)
Sticks that look like bamboo
Bamboo tiles show stick-like shapes, often green and/or red.
They're also numbered 1-9.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: The 1 Bamboo is special — it usually shows a bird (sparrow or peacock), not a stick!
This confuses beginners. Remember: bird = 1 Bamboo.
2-9 Bamboo show that many bamboo sticks.
Like Dots, there are 4 copies of each (36 total).
