-'''Minefield mahjong''' is a specialized [[Japanese mahjong|mahjong]] variant found in the anime and manga series, [[wikipedia:Kaiji_(manga)|Kaiji]]. This variant features two players, who take 34 tiles and arrange 13 of them into a [[tenpai]] hand. Any remaining tiles are used as player discards, where the players take turns making their discards.  In a sense, this can be interpreted as a tile discard reading drill for [[defense]] practice.
+'''Minefield mahjong''' is a specialized two-player [[Japanese mahjong|mahjong]] variant found in the anime and manga series, [[wikipedia:Kaiji_(manga)|Kaiji]]. This variant features two players, who take 34 tiles and arrange 13 of them into a [[tenpai]] hand. Any remaining tiles are used as player discards, where the players take turns making their discards. In a sense, this can be interpreted as a tile discard reading drill for [[defense]] practice.
 ==Rules==
 * Players gather 34 tiles.
-* Use 13 tiles to form a tenpai hand. In the original work, this must be a [[mangan]] or higher hand. The remaining tiles are to be used for discards.
+* Use 13 tiles to form a tenpai hand. The remaining tiles are to be used for discards.
+* In the original work, hands must be [[mangan]] or higher. If the hand would score lower, it cannot win.
 * Determine player order by any method (e.g. dice roll or coin flip). Then, take turns making discards.
-* If a discarded tile is the other player's winning tile, then [[ron]] may be called. (You cannot win by [[tsumo]].)
+* If a discarded tile is the other player's winning tile, then [[ron]] may be called. (Players cannot win by [[tsumo]].)
 * If a player discards their own winning tile, they become [[furiten]] as usual, and can no longer win.
 * After 17 discards by both players, the game ends in a draw.
-Specific rules:
+The mangan rule may be turned off for greater hand variation, or to make the game easier for new players.
-*[[Kiriage mangan]] is enabled, so 4 han 30 fu hands count as mangan.
-*Players start the game in [[riichi]] (but not [[double riichi]]), so all hands have the riichi yaku.
-*[[Ippatsu]] is scored on the opponent's first discard; there is no [[renhou]].
-*[[Atozuke]] is allowed. If a player deals a winning tile that wouldn't score mangan, you are in furiten.
-*There is no [[round wind]]. The first player's [[seat wind]] is East and the second player is West.
-*[[Kan]] is not allowed.
-*If you cannot or do not wish to make a mangan hand, your hand may be noten with no [[chombo]] penalty.
-The mangan rule may be turned off for greater hand variation. Alternatively, both players could start in double riichi, giving each player +2 han instead of the "default" +1.
+===Scoring===
+If using the mangan rule, these are the specific rules regarding scoring:
+* [[Kiriage mangan]] is enabled, so 4 han 30 fu hands count as mangan.
+* Players start the game in [[riichi]] (but not [[double riichi]]), so all hands have the riichi yaku.
+* [[Ippatsu]] is scored on the opponent's first discard; there is no [[renhou]].
+* [[Atozuke]] is allowed. If the opponent deals a winning tile that wouldn't score mangan, the player enters furiten.
+* There is no [[round wind]]. The first player's [[seat wind]] is East and the second player is West.
+* No [[red five]]s.
+* [[Kan]] is not allowed.
+* If you cannot or do not wish to make a mangan hand, your hand can be in noten with no [[chombo]] penalty.
