In riichi mahjong, a [[hanchan]] - a game consisting of two wind rounds - is the standard game length. In tonpuusen, the game is around half as long, which changes the strategy. | |||
* Fast hands are relatively more powerful. In tonpuusen, when you win a cheap hand, you "wasted" 25% of the game. In a hanchan, you "wasted" only 12.5% of the game. | |||
* Dealer [[tsumo]] payments and [[ryuukyoku]] tenpai settlements are more impactful. Less points are exchanged per game, so tsumo's and tenpai settlements are worth relatively more. | |||
* Dealing in is more dangerous. If you deal into a [[mangan]], you have less chances to come back. | |||
That being said, tonpuusen is not a radically different game. Many of the tips listed above will also apply to the South round of a hanchan. (For example, when you have relatively equal points to another player in South 2 of a hanchan, you'll want to win fast hands and not deal in.) | |||
