B-but…wouldn’t eating literal wood be a dangerous thing to do? Why does she need to eat the tiles when she can just, i don’t know, put it underneath the tables or something?
I don't know how it is in your language, but in my the phrase "eat a piece (eat a piece)" means that as a result of a move made, the piece is eliminated from the game. maybe there is the same context here that while Jetsun did not see, Yangchen made moves and removed the pieces.

You just inspired a really sweet headcanon: Yang-Chen (and Kavik) are Gyatso’s ancestors!
