Red, green and a blank white tile make a quiet signal to anyone who knows the game, and a good excuse to explain the rules to anyone who does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeclaring riichi locks your hand and stakes a 1,000-point stick on it. Win, and the tiles beneath the dora indicators become extra bonus tiles. The rule was codified in the Hochi newspaper's rules of 1952, when the stake was just 300 points from a 5,000-point start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere it came from is less clear. Accounts point to Manchuria and returning postwar players, and to dates as early as 1930. The word 立直 is said to be Chinese in origin, and it does not come from the English reach. So ask a player what riichi means, and be ready for a very long answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA roomy, relaxed tee of 100 percent ring-spun cotton, 6.1 oz, garment dyed for a washed look.
