Furthermore, the game has an assigned round wind.  Marked by the dealer indicator, the round wind is the same for all players.  Collecting a set of this wind satisfies the round wind yaku. The first round is East, followed by South.  Occasionally, the game moves into West round as well, where the West wind counts as the round wind.
