Making a Break in the Wall

Before the game starts, the player in the East position rolls the dice in order to determine who goes first. Counting anti-clockwise, the player who is seated where the count ends rolls the dice and then the totals of both are added to count along his/her wall going from right to left. This is where the player breaks the wall and removes the pair of tiles, placing the topmost tile above the previous one and the lower tile two positions further anti-clockwise.
