Layout and Play

12 foundation piles (down left side, in groups of 4 piles North, West, East, and South) - Each pile is built up from a dragon (0), then 1 thru 9 of the same suit, then a wind (10). Winds and dragons are suitless. The 12 piles are divided into 3 sets of 4 piles, a set for each suit. A tile of each rank must be played to each pile of a set of 4 piles before any tiles of a higher rank can be played on that set of piles. That is, 4 dragons (4 of the same type) must be played before you can play any 1's to that set, then the 4 1's of that suit must be played before you can play any 2's, and so on. The 4 winds played to a set must be one of each wind.
12 tableau piles (across top right). At the start of the game, 1 tile is dealt to the 1st pile, 2 tiles to the 2nd pile, and so on until 12 tiles to the 12th pile.  Only the (bottom) available tile is face up.  Within the tableau piles, a bottom tile of a pile may be played on the bottom tile of another tableau pile if it is one rank lower and of a different suit than that tile (building down of different suit).  For example, a 5 of bamboos can be played on a 6 of circles. Groups of tiles in sequence down of different suit may be moved as a unit.  The bottom tile of each pile is available for play on other tableau piles or on the foundation piles.  Only a wind tile or a legal group of tiles headed by a wind tile may be placed in an empty space.
stock pile (bottom left, face down) - turn over tiles one at a time to the waste pile by clicking (you can also just press the Enter key).  When the stock is empty, clicking on the empty stock will turn over the tiles in the waste pile back to the stock pile (unlimited redeals).
waste pile (next to stock) - top tile is available for play on the foundations or tableau.
