Restricted as closed only, this hand must draw at least 12 of the 13 required tile types. If a pair exists within the hand upon [[tenpai]], then naturally, the hand is waiting on the last remaining tile type not yet in the hand. This hand will become [[karaten|impossible]] if all four of any of the tile types are no longer available. | Restricted as closed only, this hand must draw at least 12 of the 13 required tile types.

In order to reasonably develop this hand, your [[haipai|starting hand]] should contain many terminals, generally 9 or more. This gives the option to call [[Tochuu_ryuukyoku#Kyuushu_kyuuhai|kyuushu kyuuhai]], if no tiles have been called, and if the ruleset allows. Declining (or not having) this option puts the hand on the path to form the yakuman. | In order to reasonably develop this hand, your [[haipai|starting hand]] should contain many terminals, generally 9 or more.

Realistic chances to complete kokushi musou may require a hand to begin with at least 9 yaochuhai. Even so, at this point, this gives a player the option to defer and abort the hand, rather than trying for kokushi. If a tile has been [[naki|called]] before your first turn, then kyuushu kyuuhai becomes unavailable. Also, some rulesets may disable the abortive draw. | Realistic chances to complete kokushi musou may require a hand to begin with at least 9 yaochuhai.

===Discard characteristics=== | |||
Kokushi has no use for tiles numbered 2-8, so those tiles will be discarded first. In particular, when middle tiles of all 3 suits are discarded early, then honor/terminal tiles are discarded from the hand afterwards, a player is likely aiming for kokushi. | |||
