In this episode of Riichi Mahjong Guide, we cover a couple of yaku that are commonly used for open hands: tanyao and yakuhai. Feel free to leave any feedback or questions in the comments.
So much just clicked in my head. Also, if I were here when this video came out, I would have recommended making like recap or summary videos every like 3-5 videos or so depending on some videos that go hand in hand.
Each video is so short that I didn't feel the need to make any recap videos, and I tried to group similar concepts together when I was planning out the series. Also, as you watch more videos in the series, you'll see that I briefly mention things from past videos, when relevant. It's a little subtle, but I thought it would be okay.
I was in tenpai, had an open hand and my Yaku was Tanyao. My wait was a 6 or 9 circle. Someone discarded a 9 circle and I did not take it as I would not have a Yaku. Was I in temporary or regular fruiten? After a few rounds I picked my own 6 circle for win, but at end opponents debated whether I could have Ron a 6 circle from opponents. Your opinion, please.
If someone else discards your winning tile and you pass on it for whatever reason, you are in temporary furiten until your next discard. You would only be put into permanent furiten by an opponent's discard if you have declared riichi.
In your first example, let's say the player on the right discard the 9, and the player opposite immediately discard the 6. Can you win the hand with the 6?
In the case you're describing, you would be in temporary furiten and unable to win that turn. This concept is covered in a later video in this series, "Atozuke and Furiten".
@@LightGrunty And even worse, should you draw the 9 yourself with your hand open, that would make you furiten, wouldn't it? We use old EMA rules, so tanyao is only allowed in a closed hand.
If you're talking about a kan, it would depend on the type. If you drew all four tiles yourself to make an ankan, then it would be considered closed. But if you had to call another player's tile, then it would be open.
The 1 dislike is the person who got stuck with no yaku after opening their hand 😂
Maky Tondr Chombo!

Yes, but furiten is covered in a later video.
Kind of a random question but Where did you get your Mahjong tiles from? I really enjoy the game online but I want a real life set.
The set I have was discontinued a few years back. Nowadays I would recommend ordering an AMOS-brand set online.
@@LightGrunty gotcha. Thanks for the quick response
is gan considered an open hand?
