Every time tiles are dealt, fourteen tiles are set aside to form the '''dead wall''', or '''wanpai''' {{kana|王牌}}. One of these tiles - the third from the initial wall break, as shown in the picture - is always flipped over to indicate the dora. The tile sequentially after the flipped "dora indicator" is the dora itself. For example, if 1-man is the dora indicator, then 2-man is the dora itself. | |||
The following lists the complete dora order. Note that the order loops around, and that doras do not "cross-indicate" tiles of another suit. | The following lists the complete dora order. Note that the order loops around, and that doras do not "cross-indicate" tiles of another suit. | ||

When a North tile is obtained, the player may call [[kita]], set the tile aside, and the hand gains 1 nukidora. Then, the player gets a dead wall draw. North tiles not called for kita are not dora. | ||

Dora tiles are valuable due to their +1 han. Until mangan, each han will roughly double your score, so even one dora is a substantial score boost. | |||
Because of their value, the dora itself, as well as tiles around the dora, are generally more dangerous to discard. | |||
