2 & 3 Player Riichi Mahjong

My partner and I both play Mahjong online, but sometimes it's nice to play in-person. This is how we play Riichi Mahjong with less than 4 players (It's basically Sanma after doing more research...).

Rules

Setup

  1. Shuffle all the tiles
  2. Create 4 walls of 13-14-13-14 length
  3. Dealer rolls 2 dice and breaks the corresponding wall
  4. Count 3 to the left of the dead wall and add those tiles
  5. Draw as normal
