There are 8 bonus tiles in a mah-jong set, and each tile depicts a fancy-looking flower or drawing and a number 1 - 4, so they\'re easy to pick out.
Bonus tiles are different from suit and honor tiles in that their purpose is to add bonus points onto the total score; they aren\'t included in the actual playing hand. In fact, when a player draws a bonus tile, he must turn it face up and keep it on his side of the table and draw another tile to replace it. So basically, getting a bonus tile is a good thing that is COMPLETELY based on luck. You get the bonus points, plus you get to go again.
