Japanese mahjong: Difference between revisions

Most games consist of two prevailing-wind rounds and are called '''hanchan'''. Each of the two rounds is labeled as the '''east round''' and '''south round'''. For each wind round, every player gets a chance to be seated as the dealer once per round. A prevailing wind round is complete after all four players have had a rotation as the dealer. At the beginning of the second round, the initial east seat-wind player turns over the prevailing-wind marker to indicate that it's the south prevailing-wind round.  For shorter games, [[tonpussen]] may be played, which is just a single east round.
