Lesson 2 · Flores

Set them aside. Draw a replacement.

All 36 non-numbered tiles are Flores in the app: 16 winds, 12 dragons, four flowers, and four seasons.

Flores are visible records of what you drew, but they are not part of your playable hand. The app handles the reveal and replacement automatically.
