39 to 42-moongates;
Circular stone gates said to bring good luck to passers-through,
the design was imported from China by a Bermudian sea captain.

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.
