 {{main|Japanese mahjong setup}}
-The game's setup utilizes all 134 tiles; and each of the four players are responsible for shuffling and building the walls.  When divided by 4 (among the 4 players), it comes up to 34 each; and 34 divided by 2 produces 17.  With this, each player is responsible for arranging the tiles into a wall of length 17 tiles double stacked.  To help expedite the process, it is possible for players to pick up a row of 17 tiles and place it right on top of the other 17 tiles.  If that is physically not possible, then a player can simply place tiles on top of a row using smaller increments.  Naturally, each player places these walls to accommodate enough player space in front of them.  Of course, with [[List of mahjong video games|online play or computer/video games]], the wall building process can be completely ignored.  The shuffling and wall building are both automatically done.  Likewise, [[automatic tables]] complete this process too.
+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 [[starting hands]].  Play begins once the dealer makes the initial draw and discard.
