Chantaiyao (全帯么) is a terminal based yaku. For this yaku, every meld must contain at least one terminal or honor tile. This yaku is more commonly referred by its shorter name, chanta (チャンタ).

Note: This hand is also waiting for , but it would not be chanta.

Formation

By definition, every meld must include a terminal or honor tile. So combinations involving 1-2-3, 7-8-9, 1-1-1, 9-9-9, and/or any honor triplet applies here.

Compatability

Chanta's patter is similar to junchan; however, the two can never combine as chanta requires honor tiles, while junchan does not. Compatibility with sanshoku doukou is limited to the collection of either tile groups of 1s or 9s among the three suits; mix this combination with honor tiles, and it may have a good chance of honroutou as well.
