Mahjong Game Set Up: Final Step for Building a Mahjong Tile Wall
Mahjong: Wall Building Step 5

The last step of wall building includes adding the remaining five tiles on the first and second levels of the tile wall. A total of four walls are built before game play starts.

To finish the wall, place three tiles on the right side of the wall and two tiles on the left. Then, complete the second level by adding three tiles on the right and two on the left. Now there should be 17 tiles on the top and 17 tiles on the bottom with all the tiles in one row. Since there are four players in mahjong, each player should simultaneously build his own wall. There should be a total of four walls. If the mahjong game set includes tile racks, these can be used to straighten the walls.
