The table and a turn

Seats and turn order

Each seat has a wind: East, South, West, North. East is the dealer, who wins and pays more. Play goes counter-clockwise. On Riichi Arena the other players are shown above your hand in turn order.

The wall and the dora indicator

You draw from the wall. Its last 14 tiles, the dead wall, are never drawn normally; one of them is turned up as the dora indicator. The tile after it is the dora: indicator 3 makes 4 the dora.

Each dora in a winning hand raises its score, and so does each red five (akadora). They are not a yaku: they make a winning hand worth more, but never make a hand winnable. In a game they glow gold:

2 3 4 4 5 6

The dora indicator is 3. Tap the dora.
