Japanese mahjong: Difference between revisions

The game's setup features the 134 tiles, arranged in four walls of 17 tiles long double-stacked.  After shuffling the tiles, all four players are responsible for creating the initial setup, which has every tile face down.  A dice roll is used to determine both the initial dealer at the start of the game as well as the '''wall break''' at the beginning of each hand.  After this process, both the [[dead wall]] is separated; and the tiles are dealt to each player to produce their [[haipai|starting hands]].  Play begins once the dealer makes the initial draw and discard.
