Distributing the Tiles to the Players in Mahjong


Distribute the Tiles

Next distribute the tiles.

First let's take a closer look at the break determined in the previous step.



The dealer, or the player in the East position, takes the four tiles from the player's left of the break (or, from the side opposite the Dora).



Player's follow suit, taking four tiles at a time, in the standard order (East-South-West-North). Repeat until all players have 12 tiles. Continue to the next wall if you reach the end.



After each player has 12 tiles, the last five tiles are distributed to players in the following manner: (2 to the dealer, 1 each to the other 3 players)
