'''Furiten''' is a rule that may prevent a player from winning off other's discards.


When ''any'' of the tiles you've discarded could've completed a winning hand, you become ''completely'' unable to win off of another player's discard. In other words, you cannot win by [[ron]]. However, while in furiten, it is still possible to win by drawing the tile yourself. It does not matter if the tile you discarded and the tile the opponent discarded are different, when you are in furiten, all tile types are affected. It does not matter if you couldn't actually win off the tile because you did not have a yaku, if the discarded tile could complete the "winning shape", it is furiten.
