Yakuhai: Difference between revisions

Along with [[tanyao]], yakuhai are among the easiest yaku to learn and use.  It is the simple collection of particular wind tiles or any group of dragon tiles.  As for the rest of the hand, players are free to form any tile grouping, that they wish whether open or closed.  Typically, yakuhai are open hands, as possession of the appropriately paired tiles makes it easy to complete by calling on the discarded third tile, or sometimes fourth.  This ability makes this yaku exceptionally convenient, for the completion of fast hands, therefore, this yaku is also called "express ticket".
