Each yaku is assigned han values.  Most have static values, regardless of the hand being closed or open.  However, some decrease in han value while being open.  Furthermore, some also require hands to remain closed in order to count.  For hands to maximize the total han value, different yaku may be combined into a single hand.

===Open vs closed===
{{main|Takame and yasume}}
Various yaku are affected by the hand's state of being open or closed.  After using the different [[naki|tile calls]], a yaku may be affected in terms of han value or even validity.  Various yaku, and even yakuman, are restricted to be closed only.  Others, they remain valid but their value is decreased by 1-han.  As for the rest, it is irrelevant whether the hand is open or closed.
