'''Furiten''' {{kana|振聴}} | '''Furiten''' {{kana|振聴}} is a game status where a player cannot declare [[ron]] because of a decision not to use a winning tile. A player in [[Tenpai|tenpai]] is furiten if any of that player's winning tiles are present in one's own discard pile or, in certain conditions, another player's discard pile or [[shouminkan]]. Players in furiten may still win by [[tsumo]], but not by ron. A call of ron while furiten is penalized by [[chombo]], although computer games will generally forbid the player from declaring a furiten ron. | ||
In all cases, the furiten rule requires a player to be aware of all of their [[machi|tile waits]]. If a player is [[tenpai]] but does not realize all of their possible waits, they may not be aware that they are furiten and, as a result, call an illegal win. This is especially true of a player who has called [[riichi]], because they can be furiten off of anyone's discard for a long period of time. | In all cases, the furiten rule requires a player to be aware of all of their [[machi|tile waits]].

The furiten is the reason that in Japanese majnog, unlike many other mahjong variations, the [[discard pile]]is specifically arranged in front of players and [[Naki|tile calls]] have one tile turned to indicate who discarded the tile. These allow players to keep track of who discarded a tile. | The furiten is the reason that in Japanese majnog, unlike many other mahjong variations, the [[discard pile]]is specifically arranged in front of players and [[Naki|tile calls]] have one tile turned to indicate who discarded the tile.

Furiten is translated as '''sacred discard''' in Chinese. In consequence, English terminology had made this the equivalent. However, this translation bears no relation to the Japanese term. | |||
