The Blue Willow Starter Kit is a complete table in one bag: the full 160 tile Blue Willow set, four clear racks with pushers, chips, a wind indicator, dice and a how-to-play manual, packed in a quilted carrying set with a zippered pouch for the tiles and a drawstring sleeve for the racks. Nothing else to buy before the first game.
Blue Willow is the set painted like fine blue-and-white porcelain, on a pearly white tile. The dots are round blue medallions with a flower at the centre, the bams are blue bamboo with a crane in flight on the 1 Bam, and the craks are ginger jars with the numeral painted in gold. The winds are butterflies over a blue scroll, the flowers are eight bouquets in porcelain vases, the dragons are a blue dragon, a golden dragon and a porcelain frame, and the jokers are blue koi.
