==Why can't I win?== | |||
There are three main reasons why you cannot win a hand: | |||
* '''Not a winning shape:''' A hand needs 4 groups + 1 pair to win (with a few exceptions). | |||
* '''[[#Yaku|No yaku:]]''' A hand with 0 points cannot win. Therefore, a hand cannot win without a yaku. Even with dora, you still need at least 1 yaku. | |||
* '''[[#Furiten|Furiten:]]''' When you have discarded a tile that your hand can now win with, you enter furiten. When furiten, you cannot win by [[ron]] (i.e. cannot win by another player's discard). You can still win by drawing your own tile, assuming you have a yaku. | |||
** When you are in furiten, you cannot ron off ''any'' tile, regardless of which tile "caused" furiten. | |||
** Furiten doesn't care if you couldn't win due to not having yaku. If you've discarded a tile that could complete a "winning shape", you're in furiten. | |||
