Daisangen
Daisangen 「大三元」 is a standard yakuman. This involves the collection of all three tile groups of the sangenpai (dragon tiles). It is one of the three yakuman gosanke 「役満御三家」, or "the three big families of yakuman".

Development
As the name implies, this yakuman depends on all three dragons. In the event where one dragon type is not available as a tiplet, then this yakuman is no longer possible.
Sekinin barai
The rule of sekinin barai applies to daisangen in the form of yakuman pao. This occurs when a player seeking to develop this yakuman already had made open calls (pon) with two out of the three possible dragon types. The rule is then invoked when the third type is discarded and called to complete the yakuman portion of the hand. So, the call upgrades the hand into a very obviously open daisangen. That third discarder becomes partially liable or fully liable for that play.
