 {{main|Hanchan}}
-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.
+Games are organized into wind rounds.  For each wind round, every player has the chance to be the dealer once.
+===Tonpussen===
+{{main|Tonpussen}}
+For shorter games, players may play a single East Round.  Here players only have the opportunity to hold the dealer seat once.  After the conclusion of four wind rotations, then the game is brought to the end.  Yet, the points may invoke the extra round and bring the game into the South Round.
