(Corrected definition of renhou to "before a player's first turn" instead of "before dealer's second turn." Also revised the reasoning why the dealer can't score it (because nothing can happen before the dealer's first turn). As it was written, the dealer could ron before their second turn, which does not count as renhou.)

'''Renhou''' {{kana|人和}} is an [[optional yaku]]. It is defined by a player declaring [[ron]] with a starting hand before drawing their first tile and before any [[Naki| called tile]]. This premise is similar to the [[chiihou]], except the hand wins by discard (ron). In some instances, it may be considered as a [[yakuman]], [[mangan]], or not used at all.  Only non-dealers may invoke renhou because it is impossible to declare [[ron]] before the dealer's first draw (no discarded tiles yet).
'''Renhou''' {{kana|人和}} is an [[optional yaku]]. It is scored when a player declares [[ron]] with their starting hand, before drawing their first tile, and before anyone makes a [[Naki|tile call]]. Only non-dealers may invoke renhou, since the dealer gets the first draw (and discard) of the game.
 
It can be considered the ron equivalent of [[chiihou]]. Unlike chiihou, renhou is not always scored as a yakuman; it may be worth less, depending on the ruleset.

: By default, renhou can be defaulted as a mangan hand. In this case, if the hand could score more using normal counting of yaku and dora, it will be scored for the alternate value (since the highest-scoring hand must always be chosen). The hand must have at least one yaku for this, however; dora alone cannot allow the hand to be scored separately.
: Renhou can be set to a mangan hand by default. If a hand could score more by using regular yaku/dora, it will be scored as the higher value. Otherwise, it is a mangan. If a hand has no other yaku, it is scored as a mangan, even if [[dora]] would bring it above that.

: Renhou may be considered as a yaku, to be [[yaku compatibility|cumulative with other yaku]], with a variable han value. It is frequently set at 4 han, so that the hand is always worth mangan minimum if it has any other yaku.
