'''Honba''' {{kana|本場}} or '''tsumibou count''' is | '''Honba''' {{kana|本場}}, or '''tsumibou count''', is a point bonus: each honba adds 300 points to a winning hand's score. A honba is added whenever nobody wins (excluding [[chombo]]) or when the dealer wins. | ||
* [[ | __NOTOC__ | ||
==Mechanics== | |||
===Honba count=== | |||
The following scenarios will increase the honba count by one for the next hand: | |||
* [[Ryuukyoku|Exhaustive draw]] | |||
* [[Abortive draw]] | * [[Abortive draw]] | ||
* [[Renchan|Dealer winning the hand]] | * [[Renchan|Dealer winning the hand]] | ||
When any non-dealer wins a hand, the honba count resets back down to zero. | |||
In online play, the honba count is automatically noted. When playing physically, the current dealer indicates the honba count by using [[tenbou|100-point sticks]] and placing them on the dealer indicator or on the table. These sticks are merely counters; when the seats rotate, the honba are returned to the previous dealer, and the next dealer assumes responsibility of tracking honba. | |||
A custom rule named '''basengo''' {{kana|場千五}} | ===Scoring=== | ||
For each honba in play, a winning hand's score increases by 300. For [[ron]], the discarder pays the additional 300 points. For [[tsumo]], everyone pays an additional 100 each (whether dealer or not). These extra points are added after the hand is scored, so the limits from [[mangan]] onwards do not apply. Points from honba are unaffected by the [[dealer]] bonus. For example: | |||
* A non-dealer mangan tsumo with 2 honba is worth 8,600 in total - it costs 2,200 for non-dealers and 4,200 for the dealer. | |||
* A dealer mangan tsumo with 2 honba is worth 12,600 in total - it costs 4,200 for each non-dealer. | |||
In the case of [[sekinin barai]], when the yakuman hand wins by tsumo, the discarder of the ponned tile has to pay honba. When it wins by ron, it is subject to [[rule variation]], but most rulesets have the discarder of the ''winning'' tile pay for the honba completely. | |||
A custom rule named '''basengo''' {{kana|場千五}} changes each honba to be worth 1,500, five times the normal value. This rule is not common, usually seen under gambling situations. | |||
==Strategy== | |||
At only 300 points/honba, just one or two honba will have little impact on overall strategy. It could be important in [[oorasu|all last]] (where 300 points can mean the difference between [[gyakuten|overtaking an opponent]]), but small honba counts shouldn't be considered otherwise. | |||
When there are many honba and/or [[riichi]] sticks in play, you should consider faster hands. E.g., with 3 honba + 1 riichi stick, a base 1000 point hand will end up scoring 2900, and prevent your opponents from benefiting from the honba/riichi sticks. | |||
