Tochuu ryuukyoku: Difference between revisions

'''Kyuushuu kyuuhai''' {{kana|九種九牌}}, literally means 9 (kyuu) kinds (shuu) of honor or terminal (kyuu) tiles (hai). If a player's 14-tile hand after his initial draw is composed of 9 different honor or terminal tiles, the player may announce this and reveal his hand to abort the deal. This option is only available if no tile call has interrupted the initial turn earlier. Instead of calling kyuushuu kyuuhai, a player may play the hand normally, maybe aiming for [[kokushi musou]].  This is the only case where the call for tochuu ryuukoku is optional.
