The Wall

Learn how shuffled tiles become the wall.

Concept

The wall is the face-down supply of tiles.

Before the hand begins, all 136 tiles are shuffled face down. Each player builds a wall in front of them using two-tile-high stacks that is 17 tiles long.

The four walls form a square. Players draw from the wall in order, so keeping it neat matters.
