 {{Yaku compatibility table|SSG}}
-Shousangen requires [[yakuhai]], from the two groups of dragon tiles. Note that while normally a yaku is not counted if it is guaranteed by another yaku in the hand, shousangen does not guarantee a particular yakuhai and so it is counted separately.  Out of the regular four tile groups for a hand, two are dedicated for dragon tiles.  So, this yaku has no room for the likes of [[ittsu]], [[ryanpeikou]], [[sanshoku]], and [[sanshoku doukou]], as well as [[chiitoitsu]] because the later does not allow any mentsu.  Each of those four yaku require at least three tile groups for their specific requirements.  Naturally, [[pinfu]], [[tanyao]], [[junchan]], and [[chinitsu]] are incompatible because of the dragon tiles.
+Shousangen requires two of the four tile groups to be dragon triplets, leaving no room for [[iitsu]], [[ryanpeikou]], [[sanshoku]], and [[sanshoku doukou]] (which all require 3 groups). [[Chiitoitsu]] forbids metsu and is similarly incompatible. Naturally, [[pinfu]], [[tanyao]], [[junchan]], and [[chinitsu]] are incompatible because of the dragon tiles.
+Every shousangen hand always scores at least 2 yakuhai, from the two dragon tiles. Normally, when a yaku is guaranteed by another yaku, the guaranteed yaku is not scored. However, because shousangen does not guarantee any particular yakuhai (i.e., it does not guarantee "haku", "hatsu", or "chun"), the two yakuhai are scored.
