Figure counts

[ekted]

Perhaps show remaining figure counts that are in play? There's plenty of room in the upper left. Something like:

High Hats: 6
Buddhas: 4
Rice Fields: 5

Or just a bunch of icons:

HHHHHH
BBBB
RRRRR

Hmm... I don't know, I have never felt this need: usually it starts becoming an important element only when there are so few on the board (2 or 3) that it's easy to count them. But it would be easy to add.
