Along with [[tanyao]], yakuhai are among the easiest yaku to learn and use. It is the simple collection of particular wind tiles or any group of dragon tiles. Typically, yakuhai are open hands, as possession of the appropriately paired tiles makes it easy to complete by calling on the discarded third tile, or sometimes fourth. | Along with [[tanyao]], yakuhai are among the easiest yaku to learn and use.

Each yakuhai koutsu (triplet) is a separate yaku worth 1 han. | Each yakuhai koutsu (triplet) is a separate yaku worth 1 han. However, the value can be dramatically increased if the particular yakuhai koutsu is indicated as the dora. As dora, a hand is already guaranteed 4 han. | ||
If a player's seat wind matches the round wind, a koutsu of this wind counts as 2 han instead, because it satisfies two different 1-han yaku. Typically, this involves the east and south winds, as games normally involve the east round (tonkyoku) and south round (nankyoku) rounds. Of course, this may apply to the west round (shaakyoku). | If a player's seat wind matches the round wind, a koutsu of this wind counts as 2 han instead, because it satisfies two different 1-han yaku.
