Shanpon | Shanpon {{kana|腹ボテ}} is a [[machi|wait pattern]] involving two groups of paired tiles, where either is looking to complete a [[mentsu|triplet]]. | ||

The fu generated from a shanpon depends on the tiles themselves. Triplets using [[Jihai|honor tiles]] or [[Routouhai|terminals]] are worth more than [[tanyao|simples]]. When claimed for a win, the newly completed triplet is considered to be open. | |||
== Usage == | |||
At most, a shanpon wait looks for 4 tiles of 2 tile types (2 tiles each). The pattern has one main advantage, by which it is immune to [[suji]]. Plus, it can easily incorporate honor tiles. Players looking to [[defense|defend]] may fall trap to these fairly easily. | |||
The major disadvantage to shanpon involves locked tiles. In this case, pairs of waiting tiles may be incorporated into other player(s) waiting hands, which may or may not be dropped. If this happens, then one or both tile types decrease in likelihood for a win. Of course, the win may be assured, if such a player decided to split a pair and make the discard. | |||
