When an opponent discards a tile you can claim, you can call it to add it to your hand. After claiming a discard, the player's hand is considered ''[[open]]''; an open hand cannot [[riichi]], becomes unable to score some yaku, and have other yaku reduced in value. In addition, the [[tile group]] completed by a call is revealed and cannot be changed afterwards. However, calling allows the hand to complete faster. | ||
