* If two players want to call ''ron'' on the same tile at the same time, priority goes to the person whose turn would come soonest after the discarding player. (Experienced players will recognize this as the [[atamahane|head bump]] rule.) | * If two players want to call ''ron'' on the same tile at the same time, priority goes to the person whose turn would come soonest after the discarding player.

* Teachers with Riichi Mahjong experience will note that the "Concealed Hand" pattern also allows for ''menzen ron'' wins, and doesn't distinguish them from ''[[menzen tsumo]]''. We also haven't introduced the ''riichi'' call yet. Feel free to substitute this pattern with [[Riichi]] instead, if you think that it will cause more friction for your players to unlearn ''menzen ron'' without ''riichi''. While the concept of ''furiten'' is important with ''riichi'', you can hold off on introducing it until it becomes relevant, since it is an advanced rule to understand. | * Teachers with Riichi Mahjong experience will note that the "Concealed Hand" pattern also allows for ''menzen ron'' wins, and doesn't distinguish them from ''[[menzen tsumo]]''.

* Playing a set of hands where each player has had a chance to be dealer forms a single round. (Don't forget that when the dealer wins, they get to stay as dealer.) A game usually lasts for one or two rounds. | |||
