'''Hanchan''' {{kana|半荘}} encapsulates one game of [[Japanese mahjong]].  A typical game involves two rounds designated as East and then South.  Even if a game ends early, such as when a player falls below zero points, then it is still considered to be a full game.  For shorter games, players may play '''[[tonpussen]]''' {{kana|東風戦}}, or East only games.
