This version takes the number of players into account.  The regular four player mahjong game has three suits, [[Kazehai|four wind types]], and [[Sangenpai|three dragon types]].  Under a similar approach, this two player game uses one suit, two wind types, and one dragon type.  With this, the number count is down to 48 tiles.
This version takes the number of players into account.  The regular four player mahjong game has three suits, [[Kazehai|four wind types]], and [[Sangenpai|three dragon types]].  Under a similar approach, this two player game uses one suit, two wind types, and one dragon type.  Players have the liberty of selecting the suit and the dragon type.  Both the east and south wind tiles are recommended; but the game is still playable with different wind combinations, as long as one is designated for the dealer.  With this, the number count is down to 48 tiles.

=== The wall ===
With 48 tiles, the wall is arranged as a single line of tiles.  Each of the two players here are responsible for shuffling and then rearranging the tiles into a 12-tile width double stacked wall.  Then players arrange their own walls left oriented to the opposite player's wall.  Then the two walls are connected together to form a single double stacked line.

Given the tile count reduction, the yaku involved is also reduced.  Likewise, the yaku values for this version is also modified.
Given the tile count reduction, the [[yaku]] involved is also reduced.  Some yaku from the four-player game are incorporated; and any yaku physically impossible by the tile make up, like [[sanshoku]], are omitted.  Furthermore, most of the yaku retain their original values, but some are modified.
