Sanshoku doukou (三色同刻) is a standard yaku. This yaku involves koutsu (triplets) of the same numbered tiles across the three main suits.
Tile pattern
Formation
This yaku is actually a fairly difficult yaku to complete. For every number across the three different suits, there are only 12 tiles. A sanshoku douko hand has to have 9 of the 12 tiles of one number. The 3 tiles of that number not in the hand has to be one of each suit, which yields pretty bad odds.
Value
Whether open or closed, this yaku remains at 2 han.
