Of the three, daisangen is the only one that can be played [[naki|open]]. | ||
As the name implies, this yakuman depends on all three dragons. If at least two copies of a dragon tile are unavailable, then completing a triplet becomes impossible, thus preventing the yakuman. | As the name implies, this yakuman depends on all three dragons.

Most instances of daisangen involve open calls for the dragon tiles. Therefore, one of the more reasonable hand states involve three pairs of the dragon tiles. That gives a player the opportunity to call on those tiles or at least have a [[shanpon]] tenpai involving one of the dragons. On occasion, a very lucky player could develop a completely closed hand with the yakuman embedded. | Most instances of daisangen involve open calls for the dragon tiles.

The rule of [[sekinin barai]] ( | The rule of [[sekinin barai]] (i.e. pao) may apply to daisangen. It applies when a player has made [[naki|open calls]] (pon/kan) with two of the dragons. When another player discards the third dragon, and that dragon is called so that all three dragons are in one hand, then the discarder is liable to pay for the yakuman. | ||
If the yakuman hand wins via ron, the discarder and ronned player each pay half. If the yakuman hand wins via tsumo, the discarder pays the entire hand. This effectively punishes a player for guaranteeing a yakuman. However, even if the third dragon is called to complete a [[kan]], sekinin barai still applies. | If the yakuman hand wins via ron, the discarder and ronned player each pay half.
