A '''[[yaku]]''' {{kana|役}} is a certain pattern that scores points, and a necessary condition for winning. They are analogous to hands in poker. In total, there are 26 yaku, 11 [[yakuman]] (a special class of high-scoring yaku), and 1 special case in [[nagashi mangan]]. | A '''[[yaku]]''' {{kana|役}} is a certain pattern that scores points, and a necessary condition for winning.

'''In order to win any hand, the hand must have at least one yaku.''' Even if a hand has [[dora]], it cannot score without a yaku. Attempting to win without a yaku is subject to a [[chombo]] penalty, so it is important to learn the yaku, or at least the most common types. | |||
Each yaku is worth a specified amount of '''[[han]]''', where rarer yaku are generally worth more. A hand can score multiple yaku at once. When a hand is won, its han (from both yaku and dora) are added up, and the total han value is converted into points using a [[scoring table]]. | Each yaku is worth a specified amount of '''[[han]]''', where rarer yaku are generally worth more.

The most important yaku to learn is riichi: it is the most common yaku and very easy to achieve. Any hand that isn't open may declare riichi when [[tenpai|about to win]]. A beginner may rely solely on riichi, though it is important to learn the other yaku too. | |||
