Table Areas

Locate hands, walls, discards, and exposed melds.

Concept

Every tile needs a clear place.

A mahjong table has distinct areas. The wall is the face-down supply. The river is the face-up discard area.

Your concealed hand is private. Open melds are exposed sets from calls or declared kongs.
