Note: The pieces in the wall do not belong to anyone.

4.每個玩家隨意取三十六張牌在他桌前堆一道兩層各十八張的牌牆,並且用麻將組附贈的牌尺向前推並且排整齊。如此牌牆便完成了。

註:現在牌牆的排還不屬於任何人

How do you deal?

如何砌牌

1. In the first round, decide who will be the dealer by rolling three dice. For example, if the dice show a total of 13, count around the table counter-clockwise from the East, counting each player as one. Since the 13th direction lands on East, East is the dealer for the first round. If East wins the first round, he remains the dealer, but if he loses, North becomes the dealer. The person to the right of the dealer becomes the new dealer each time the dealer loses.

1.第一盤以丟三顆骰子決定誰是莊家,例如,如果三顆骰子一共十三點,從東家逆時針方向開始數十三,十三到東,東就是第一盤的莊家,贏了連莊,輸了逆時針方向換手。

2. Players now build up a bank of their own pieces by taking pieces from the wall. East throws the three dice to decide which part of the wall players will take pieces from first. If East rolls a 12, then count 12 counter-clockwise around the table. In this case South would be the 12th direction.

2.各家自砌好的牌牆取牌來堆自己的牆。此時東風擲三顆骰子來決定要從那一家的牌牆開始拿,若共十二點,從東風逆時針方向數十二,所以南風是十二,

3. As you face the south wall, count 12 pieces from the left.

3.面向南風牆牌,從左手方向數十二。

Note: Where you start taking pieces from on the South wall is also determined by East's roll of the dice.

註:這裡的十二即方才東家擲骰子決定的數目。

4. East begins by taking the 13th and 14th columns out of the south wall to make his own wall of 4 tiles. He begins with 13 and 14 because the roll of the dice was 12; South is the next position clockwise around the table, so South continues by taking the 15th and 16th columns out of the south wall; West takes the 17th and 18th columns out of the south wall; North continues clockwise around the table by taking the first and second columns out of the west wall; This continues until all the players have accumulated 16 tiles.

4. 現在東風從南風牆牌拿第十三、十四墩來堆自己的牆,他從第十三墩開始拿,因為剛才骰子的結果是十二;順時針方向的下一位是南風,所以他接著拿南風牆牌的十五、十六墩給自己蓋牆;西風再拿十七、十八墩,北風則順時針方向地取西風牆牌的第一、二墩,如此直到每位玩家都有十六張牌為止。

Organizing your tiles:

整理牌面:

1. Stand all your tiles facing toward you and put any bonus tiles out in front of your wall face up.

1.將所有的牌面向你,有花牌要拿出來放在牆外攤開。

2. Players now replace their bonus tiles with the tiles remaining in front of the South wall, which is called "gang4 wei3" (槓尾). In this case East returns to the 12th tile on the south wall and this time proceeds counter clockwise. Note that players can't randomly take tiles from the south wall; they must begin at the 12th and move consecutively towards the 1st.

2.逆時方向由莊家開始從槓尾(也就是南風前面剩下的十二墩牌)補牌,拿出多少花牌,就補多少牌,不能隨意抽取,必須從第十二墩開始朝第一墩拿,而且要一個接著一個。

3. Go counter-clockwise around the table to allow each player to replace his bonus tiles. Skip players who did not orginally draw any bonus tiles.

3.逆時針方向讓各家都作同樣的動作,不用補花的就跳過。
