'''Furiten''' {{kana|振聴}}, meaning '''sacred discard''', is a particular rule associated with the tile discards. Unlike many other mahjong variations, the [[discard pile]] for Japanese mahjong is specifically arranged in front of players. | '''Furiten''' {{kana|振聴}}, meaning '''sacred discard''', is a particular rule associated with the tile discards. Basically, the player in [[Tenpai|tenpai]] is furiten if winning tiles are present in one's own discard pile or other player's discard pile, barring certain conditions. Players in furiten may still win by tsumo, but not by ron. | ||
Unlike many other mahjong variations, the [[discard pile]] for Japanese mahjong is specifically arranged in front of players. The orderly discards help enforce the '''furiten rule''', by keeping track of discarded tiles. [[naki|Tile calls]] have specific arrangements to point the source of these discarded tiles, so that they do not allow a loophole to furiten. For every discard, the '''furiten rule''' applies when appropriate. | |||
