- My tiles are not set up into the traditional suits, except for
- the wild cards of the compass points and the moongates. Although
- I have grouped them together as follows: Tiles 3-6, Sports
- practiced on Bermuda, 7-10, pirate related, 13-15, beaches and
- coves, 23-29, Bermudian products and souvenirs, 32-34, Bermudian
- buildings.
- I must give credit where credit is due; tiles 3,4,5, and 19 come
- from the SPORT.TIL set masterfully done by Chau Pham; tiles 7,8,9
- were borrowed from the PIRATE.TIL set (I could not find the
- author of this set), and tiles 13, 14 and 16 were adapted by me
- from the FLORIDA.TIL set by Scott Wellman & Delores Hood.
-
-
- I had no intention of making any money on this set; but if you
- feel you want to donate any money; please send it to Nels
- Anderson, the originator of Tile Maker; who allowed me another
- outlet for my creative juices, by combining two interests of
- mine, travel and art. I have tried to give the player of Mah
- Jongg an overview of the sights and items found on the beautiful
- archipelago of Bermuda. Enjoy! and thank you, from Carl Budrecki.
