Rinshan kaihou

Rinshan kaihou (嶺上開花) is a standard yaku, where a player wins with the rinshanpai. As such, this yaku is only accessible via kan calls.

Setting up rinshan

Like any hand, this yaku requires tenpai to even have a chance of winning. This is particularly true when kan is involved. As such, the fourth tile for kan counts as an extra tile. If that tile is in the hand, it actually takes up one tile space, that could be used for normal hand development.

Combines with

• Any yaku
• Not with any yakuman, scorewise. Though, yakuman may be completed via the rinshanpai.
