'''Wanpai''' {{kana|王牌}} are the tiles used to form the '''dead wall'''.  These tiles are set aside from the regular draw and discard play.  These are generally inaccessible, unless players call [[kan]].  At all time, the dead wall must be maintained at 14 tiles.  In the event of a kan call, a tile is drawn by the player, and so a replacement tile from the end of the regular wall is added to the end of the dead wall.

Every mahjong hand session has 14 tiles set aside from the regular tile draw and discard processes.  These tiles are considered to be out of play, hence the nomenclature "dead wall".  Among the dead wall, one tile is flipped and revealed for everyone.  This tile is assigned as the '''dorahyouji''' {{kana|ドラ表示}}, or "dora indicator".  Tiles marked as dora are indicated as the next tile in the sequence.

For example, if the dora indicator shows {{#mjt:5p}}, then the dora tile is {{#mjt:6p}}.


The dead wall also holds the '''rinshanpai''' {{kana|嶺上牌}}, which are only accessible via [[naki|calls]] for kan.  They are the four tiles between the dora indicator and the first cut of the wall.  In other words, they are the four tiles immediately clockwise from the dora indicator.  Winning tiles from this draw invokes the yaku, [[rinshan kaihou]].
