Regardless, hands must still possess a [[yaku]] in order to score, regardless of the number of dora in the hand. At the start of every hand, 14 tiles are set aside as the wanpai, or dead wall tiles. Furthermore, additional dora may be revealed through the use of '''uradora''' and/or '''kandora'''. | ||

The dead wall also holds the '''rinshanpai''' {{kana|嶺上牌}}, which are only accessible via [[naki|calls]] for kan. They are the four tiles to a player's left when immediately facing the dead wall. Otherwise, they are the four tiles immediately clockwise from the dora indicator. Winning tiles from this draw invokes the yaku, [[rinshan kaihou]]. | |||

'''Uradora''' {{kana|裏ドラ}}, or '''underneath dora''' applies only to hands won using [[riichi]]. Thus, no open hand may ever have access to the uradora. In the event a riichi declared hand has won, the tiles underneath the dora indicator(s) are revealed. These newly revealed tiles serve as additional dora indicators. Potentially, such hands may potentially gain substantial value, just off of the uradora. | |||

These are tiles next to the dora indicator counter clockwise on the dead wall. Depending on the rules and/or formality of the game, the timing for flipping the kandora during a kan procedure may vary. Casual games will simply flip the kan dora immediately after kan. More technical games will differentiate between the kan types, where the kan dora may be flipped after the player makes a discard. | ||
