The player positioned as East is the first to discard a tile by placing it face up in the middle of the table. Each player then has their subsequent turn of discarding a tile and picks up a new one with the option to create a tile combination. i.e. after each discard, any player can declare Pong, Kong or Chow and use the discarded tile as part of a combination.
Play continues in this fashion until someone can declare Mahjong. Whenever a player declares Kong, he/she must present the combination face up and immediately take a new tile from the Kong Box. A Pong that has been declared can be converted into a Kong but only when using a tile taken from the wall.
Tile that have been discarded are considered dead if no one is able to create a combination with them
If all tiles have been drawn, then there is no winner and the game is declared a draw. The tiles are then reshuffled with the same wind positions.
