== | ==Dealer order== | ||
At the beginning of [[ | At the beginning of the game, the first dealer is determined. Upon doing so, the [[Jikaze|dealer order]] throughout the game is also determined. Different processes may be implemented. A number may involve dice rolling, separating out four [[kazehai|wind tiles]] for wind draws, and/or pre-determined seating orders. Different organizations and tournaments have their own systems. Once the first dealer is set, then the game may commence. | ||
== | ==Building walls== | ||
At the beginning of [[kyoku|each hand]], the tiles are shuffled and arranged into walls. After shuffling, tiles are arranged into 4-double stacked rows of 17-tiles faced down. Every player has the responsibility of building their own walls arranged in front of them. | |||
==Breaking the wall== | |||

Once the walls are built, the dealer determines the initial breakage of the wall using a dice roll. Once again, starting with the dealer, the count begins at 1 and the count moves clockwise. Then the wall of the player at the end of this count is broken, where the player counts with the same dice number from the first tile on the right side of his/her wall towards the left. | |||
As an added variance, it can be agreed before hand or per an organization's method to added one more additional dice roll. The first dice roll points to which wall is broken. The second dice roll uses a different number value to break along the same wall. | |||
