    Mah Jong is a 4 player game where players are seated randomly and the player who throws the highest dice becomes the dealer ("EAST"). EAST sets up the game by placing wind cards and building a wall of tiles. Players then take turns drawing and discarding tiles, trying to complete sets ("melds") in their hand to win. The key elements are completing melds like triplets ("pon") or quads ("kan") of tiles, or getting different types of winning hands ("yaku") like a fully flushed suit. The dealer position rotates after each round until rotating twice, ending the session.

    Mah Jong (Japanese Modern)

    4 Players take seats randomly.


    Player who threw the highest dice after each one throwing 2 dices is EAST.
    EAST mixes the four wind-cards and places it in a row on the table.
    EAST declares one of the two ends as EVEN, the other one as ODD.
    EAST throws 2 dice and counts counterclockwise, starting with himself.
    The resulting player grabs the first card in the EVEN end if the 2 dice show
    even, or the ODD end if the 2 dice show odd. The remaining cards get picked
    up counterclockwise.
    The (new) EAST player has the choice where to sit.
    The table's layout is N-E-S-W, counterclockwise.
    The three other players reseat indicating their wind-card.
    The EAST player is the dealer.
    The wall is built (18 cards squared and 2 high).
    EAST throws 3 dices and counts counterclockwise, starting with himself.
    The resulting player breaks the wall at the thrown number from the right side.
    The cards to the left are the live wall, the 7 cards to the right are the dead
    wall.
    Starting with EAST, each player takes 4 cards off the live wall. After 3 rounds,
    EAST takes 2 (having 14 total) but the other player only one tile (having 13
    total).
    EAST ist the dealer and starts the game.
    Each player's turn is (playing counterclockwise):
    Take (draw) a card clockwise from the wall into your deck.
    Discard (deal) a card from your deck by putting it visible in your discard pile in
    the middle of the table.
    Here, another player can call it if it's melding (mentsu) in one of 3 ways with
    other cards in his deck by uttering:
    chi: Only if you are the next player of the dealer. After dealing a card the turn
    continues with the next player.
    pon: The mentsu can not be kan'ed. After dealing a card the turn continues
    with the next player.
    kan: One card can be left hidden to use it for a chi. Draw a card. Flip over
    another dora card (kan-dora-rule). Turn continues with the next player.
    Either way, the matched cards must be put openly in one's corner of the table.
    His deck is now open.
    Instead of calling, a player can simply state ron if the card completes his deck.
    Ron gets preference over a kan over a pon over a chi. If identical things are
    called (e.g. two ron's), the next player in turn gets it.
    If you need a card to complete a chi/pon/kan/yan you are in closed wait.
    If you need a card to ron/tsumo, you have a ready hand.
    If the wall is empty or the dealer wins, he continues being the dealer, otherwise,
    the next player gets to be the dealer.
    The Session (=han chan) ends after the dealer-status rotated twice around the

    table.

    A good learning experience is installing mah-jong 1.7 (chinese rulset only).


    Opportunities to play against non-bots are mahjongtime and gravon.
    If you are traveling, mahjong cards could be useful.
    For those wanting to play all-out Washizu Mahjong yourself with friends, an
    official product is available. Since this is out of stock right now, you could roll
    your own:
    A plate of 10mm thick transparent plastic. Since 1 set is 34 cards (9man + 9sou
    + 9pin + 4wind + 3dragon) and 3 sets must go on the plastic, with one card
    having 30mm*20mm, it should have around 25*25cm. I think you figure it out
    when I say band saw and fine sand paper.
    The final set goes on some bone-colored material which is dyed with a bamboo
    color.
    Now the fun part. Print these on Zweckform Transparent Inkjet Film and stick
    them on.
