: Players cannot make the [[Naki|tile call]] of [[chii]].  Players can still call [[pon]] or [[kan]] for claiming discards.

* Removal of one suit
* Removal of one suit
: Typically, the manzu suit is removed. Though, the [[terminals]] (1-man and 9-man) remain in order to retain the possibility for [[kokushi musou]] and [[chinroutou]]. However, the game loses [[sanshoku doujun]].
: Typically, the manzu tiles from 2-man to 8-man are removed. The [[terminal]]s (1-man and 9-man) are kept to allow the possibility of [[kokushi musou]] and [[chinroutou]]. However, [[sanshoku doujun]] is no longer possible.
* The dead wall
* The dead wall
: The [[dead wall]] is arranged differently.  The dead wall accommodates 8 rinshan draws rather than four.  Thus, [[Dora|dora indicator]] is the 5th tile from the wall break.

* North tile dora
* North tile dora
: By use of [[kita]] {{kana|キタ}}, possession of the north tile may be put to the side of the hand, like an open call; and it would be counted as dora.  Plus, the player is also awarded an [[rinshanpai|extra draw]] from the dead wall for that north tile.

This call invalidates [[tenhou and chiihou|tenhou]], [[chiihou]], [[ipptasu]], and [[double riichi]].
: The kita tile is not considered part of the hand composition, so it will not invalidate yaku like [[tanyao]].
: If west is the [[dora]] indicator, then kita is counted as two dora.
: If the player wins off of the dead wall draw from calling kita, they are awarded [[rinshan]].

* Scoring
* Scoring
: For [[scoring]], the same [[scoring table]] is used.  Both ron and tsumo values remain the same. However, for tsumo, no change is used to account and adjust for the missing player. Therefore, the total points for tsumo is less than that of the ron total.

Due to one less suit and fewer tiles, hands tend to develop much faster.  In turn, players get the tendency to push for tenpai more aggressively.  With the application of the nuki dora, values tend to become inflated.  Hands of mangan or higher become more frequent.
