'''Han''' {{kana|飜}} is the main portion of scoring. Each [[yaku]] is assigned a value in terms of han: most are valued at 1-2, going up to 6 han for closed [[chinitsu]]. Some yaku are worth -1 han with an open hand, and others cannot be scored at all with an open hand. Also, each [[dora]] in the hand grants +1 han. | '''Han''' {{kana|飜}} is the main portion of scoring.

Players are encouraged to know yaku, their han values, and how much points a given hand is worth. This knowledge may help with various game decisions, particularly when [[Riichi strategy|calling riichi]] or [[Betaori|abandoning the hand]]. | Players are encouraged to know yaku, their han values, and how much points a given hand is worth.

There is a "[[mangan|cap]]" at 2000 base points (5 han; 4 han 40+ fu); a hand that scores this much is called a [[mangan]] hand. Once reaching mangan, fu no longer matters for points, and han is reduced in value. | ||
