|
The Mahjong Game is now ready and new tiles will be taken from the "Wall" where the drawing of the initial hand ended. Mahjong Game Rules consist in: The dealer (or East) starts the Mahjong game by discarding a tile face up in the center of the table. South then draws and discards a tile, followed by West and North. Thus, the draw goes counter-clockwise around the table, unless a tile is thrown which a player can claim. In that case, the turn jumps to the respective player's position.
