ID26-Pushing Out and Picking From the Wrong Wall
Question: What happens if the wrong wall is pushed out and someone notices and a player picked and racked their tile?
Answer: Below are the rules for when a player pushes out the wrong wall:
- If a player pushes out and a tile is picked from the wrong wall, the player who picked from the wrong wall has a dead hand. The other players continue until the wrong wall is exhausted and then then the game proceeds from the correct wall.
- If a player calls Mah Jongg while the wrong wall is in play, they are entitled to the win and the player who pushed out the wrong wall pays for the table.
- If a player pushes out the wrong wall before the prior wall is completed and a player picks from the wrong wall, both players’ hands are dead.
