The main rules to the game is retained. Rules dictating [[yaku]], [[furiten]], completed hands, and any selected [[rule variations]] still apply. The game processes are altered to fit the transparent tiles.

*No [[yama|walls]] are built. Instead, when picking tiles from the live/dead wall, tiles are shuffled and drawn from a non-transparent bag. In order to prevent players from feeling tiles, players wear gloves. Similarly, to reveal dora indicators, a tile is drawn from the bag.

*Players are not required to arrange the tiles in any particular way. This allows players to mask the use of opaque tiles to hint some tile disinformation.

In computer game interfaces, these are non-factors. In the case of [[Majsoul]], the game does not display the walls. Also, the game masks how the tiles are arranged when other players view them. This makes [[List_of_special_rooms_in_Mahjong_Soul#Battle_of_Clairvoyance|implementation]] of Washizu mahjong possible to play "normally".

==Strategy==
==Strategy==
Game strategy is altered from the additional information of tiles in player hands. This increases a player's ability to [[kabe|count tiles]] and assess tile availability. Likewise, it's usually much easier to [[defense|defend]] when you know what the player's hand structure is. Conversely, it is a lot harder to win by ron.
