Ari-ari

This article is a stub. You can help Riichi.Wiki by expanding it.

Ari-ari 「アリ アリ」 refers to a ruleset which allows kuitan (open tanyao) and allows atozuke (winning without confirmed yaku). It is the most common ruleset of modern Japanese mahjong.

Conversely, nashi-nashi forbids kuitan and atozuke. Nashi-ari would forbid kuitan but allow atozuke, and vice versa for ari-nashi.

• Agariyame - Nashi
