What Sort of Shapes Were Made?
Counters came in a variety of shapes. The most common shapes were round, square rectangles, and long rectangles, but oval, fish-shaped, and dragon-shaped counters were also made.
A typical set of gaming counters would have 140 pieces; typically 20 rounds, 40 short rectangles, and 80 long rectangles. Players would assign different values to the different shapes, with values being as high or low as they wanted.
