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.
