 * '''Dealer always gets first draw and discard'''
-=== Objective ===
+== Objective ==
-On each turn, the player picks a new tile from the wall, then discards an unnecessary one. It is sometimes possible to call and pick up an opponent's discard instead of drawing from the wall.
+* Players take turns to draw and discard tiles to build complete hands (if possible)
+* Develop [[Tenpai|ready hands]] and hopefully complete them by draw or discard
+* [[Defense|Avoid playing into other player's hands]], or else lose points
-The first player to obtain a winning combination of 14 tiles scores points from his opponents: If the winning tile was drawn from the wall, the opponents share the payment. If the winning tile was a discard, the discarder must pay the entire hand value himself.
+* '''Ron''': Players who win by tile discard scores points off the discarder
+* '''Tsumo''': Players who win by tile draw scores points off of the other three players
-After a win, all tiles are reshuffled, and the next hand may begin. The player with the most points after a number of hands wins the session.
