It can also be viewed as the minimum number of tile draws or [[naki|tile calls]] required to attain tenpai. | '''Shanten''' {{kana|向聴}} is the number of tiles needed for reaching [[tenpai]].

''' | ==Shanten counts== | ||
The lower the shanten count, the closer the hand is to tenpai. Naturally, that is advantageous as far as [[tile efficiency]] is concerned. After all, the sooner the hand gets to tenpai, then the sooner can the hand win. For every shanten count, the hand needs any needed tile just to reduce that count. | |||
