How To Play Mahjong
Let’s look at the traditional Chinese Mahjong rules. Mahjong can seem confusing at first, but it will soon feel like second nature if you study the rules, and maybe keep a printout of it next to your playing area. Getting Started At the beginning of a Mahjong online game , the players decide on the max amount of points that a player can have to pay to another player on any one round. Common numbers are 500, 1000, and 1500 . After that, one player will be named as the East player , and this person will be the game’s first dealer. The prevailing wind will also be East at the start of play. The other players will also be assigned a corresponding Mahjong cardinal direction. Setup When playing Mahjong you will first build the wall and then break the wall . To build the wall, you will shuffle face-down tiles and build them into a wall. Each side will be 17 or 18 tiles long depending on whether you have the Flowers and Seasons tiles. The players will then start breaking the wall.
