Going counter clockwise, each player takes 2 tiles off the wall, continuing onto the next wall in the square, until each player has a hand of 13 tiles. 3. The person to the right of the dealer then starts the game by taking one tile off the wall. If they would like to keep it, they discard one tile face up into the center of the square. If they do not want to keep it, they discard it face up. Players must always have 13 tiles. 4. If a player needs the discarded tile to complete a meld, they must announce the meld and take the tile. Pong and Kong may be taken from any player. A Chow can only be taken from the player sitting to the left of the person completing the meld. An Eye can not be completed from a discard. If the player is creating a Mahjong, then the tile can be taken from any player. When a meld is created in this way, it must be shown to the group. The game continues with the person to the right of the person who created the meld. 5. Once a Mahjong is made. The player announces it to the group, shows the hand and points are calculated. The winner is decided either by who ever has the most points after a decided number of rounds or the player who reaches a certain number of points rst. 6. If the dealer wins they set up the tiles again. If they loose, the dealer changers to the person to the right of the dealer.

Scoring:
Chow = 1 Pair of suits = 2 Pair of honors or dragons = 3 Pong of suits = 4 Kong of suits = 5 Pong of honors or dragons = 6 Kong of honors = 10 Kong of bonus = 15
