-'''Minefield mahjong''' is a specialized [[Japanese mahjong|mahjong]] variant found in the anime and manga series, [[wikipedia:Kaiji_(manga)|Kaiji]].  This variant features two players, who take 34 tiles and arrange 13 of them into a [[tenpai]] hand.  Any remaining tiles are used as player discards, where the players take turns making their discards.  In a sense, this can be interpreted as a tile discard reading drill for [[defense]] practice.
+'''Minefield mahjong''' is a specialized [[Japanese mahjong|mahjong]] variant found in the anime and manga series, [[wikipedia:Kaiji_(manga)|Kaiji]]. This variant features two players, who take 34 tiles and arrange 13 of them into a [[tenpai]] hand. Any remaining tiles are used as player discards, where the players take turns making their discards.  In a sense, this can be interpreted as a tile discard reading drill for [[defense]] practice.
 ==Rules==
 * Players gather 34 tiles.
-* Of the 34, 13 tiles are used to form a tenpai hand.
+* Use 13 tiles to form a tenpai hand. In the original work, this must be a [[mangan]] or higher hand. The remaining tiles are to be used for discards.
-* Remaining tiles are to be used for discards.
+* Determine player order by any method (e.g. dice roll or coin flip). Then, take turns making discards.
-* Players take turns making those discards.
+* If a discarded tile is the other player's winning tile, then [[ron]] may be called. (You cannot win by [[tsumo]].)
-* Order of which player makes the first discard may be determined using various methods, such as the dice roll or a coin flip.
+* If a player discards their own winning tile, they become [[furiten]] as usual, and can no longer win.
-* Naturally, if a discarded tile is a winning tile, then [[ron]] may be called.
+* After 17 discards by both players, the game ends in a draw.
-* A player may not win with one's own discard; or a player cannot call [[tsumo]].
-* If a winning tile is discarded, then [[furiten]] is invoked.
-* An additional rule to the hand formation may require players to produce a [[mangan]] or better hand.
-===Variation===
+Specific rules:
-If desired, players can default the setting for automatic [[riichi]] upon the first discard.  In effect, that's a [[double riichi]].  This is for the purpose of just adding value.
+*[[Kiriage mangan]] is enabled, so 4 han 30 fu hands count as mangan.
+*Players start the game in [[riichi]] (but not [[double riichi]]), so all hands have the riichi yaku.
+*[[Ippatsu]] is scored on the opponent's first discard; there is no [[renhou]].
+*[[Atozuke]] is allowed. If a player deals a winning tile that wouldn't score mangan, you are in furiten.
+*There is no [[round wind]]. The first player's [[seat wind]] is East and the second player is West.
+*[[Kan]] is not allowed.
+*If you cannot or do not wish to make a mangan hand, your hand may be noten with no [[chombo]] penalty.
-The mangan rule may be turned off for greater hand variation.  For a challenge, players can add the dice roll to determine the hand's minimum han value.
+The mangan rule may be turned off for greater hand variation. Alternatively, both players could start in double riichi, giving each player +2 han instead of the "default" +1.
