The game of [[Japanese mahjong]] is played with a set of 136 tiles. Of these 136 tiles, there are 34 different tiles with 4 of each kind. Aside from online, the live game is played on a square table, with the mahjong tiles places onto a mahjong mat. While the mat is not necessary, it is useful to use the mat in order to protect the tile surfaces. | The game of [[Japanese mahjong]] is played with a set of 136 tiles.

==Dealer order== | |||
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. | |||

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. | Once the walls are built, the dealer determines the initial breakage of the wall using a dice roll.
