No source we found explains why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour coasters for four winds. Use these for a riichi table, and let each person claim a seat. The honor tiles on each make a nice set for a host, and it might finally settle who is meant to sit where.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four winds read Ton, Nan, Sha and Pei. The dealer sits East, with South, West and North going counterclockwise. Each seat's wind shifts as the deal passes, and the round wind moves from East to South. A triplet that matches both winds scores double.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinds actually came before dragons in early sets. On a map East, South, West and North run clockwise, so the table is a mirror. We could not find a historical reason, so we won't invent one. You can use it as a good test. Ask at your next game, and see who makes up an answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 4-inch hardboard squares come as a set of four, with cork backing to protect your furniture. The full-color art is dye sublimated. Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry at once. They should stay out of standing water.
