Value

This hand is a yakuman hand which automatically awards 32000 points to a non-dealer winner, or 48000 points to a dealer winner.

Formation

This yakuman is literally all green, as all the tiles are composed of green tiles. No markings of other color are applied to these tiles, hence its designation as all green. With this yakuman, only six tile types are available:

With the four melds and a pair pattern, at least, five out of the six tile types are needed to complete this yakuman. It is possible to use all six tile types, when 2-3-4 were used as shuntsu. Yet, it is impossible to form a chii toitsu type pattern.
