In addition, the disabling of ''ron'' by ''furiten'' applies to all winning tiles, not just a particular tile in the discard. If the player's hand looks like this:


* Tenpai: {{Tile|3pin}}{{Tile|4pin}}{{Tile|5pin}}{{Tile|6pin}}{{Tile|7pin}}{{Tile|2sou}}{{Tile|2sou}}{{Tile|2sou}}{{Tile|6wan}}{{Tile|6wan}}{{Tile|4sou}}{{Tile|5sou}}{{Tile|6sou}}
* Example tenpai hand:
:{{#mjt:34567p333m678s44z}}


This example hand is a ''tenpai'' hand waiting for a {{Tile|2pin}}, {{Tile|5pin}}, or {{Tile|8pin}}. If any of these tiles are in the player's discard pile, then the player cannot claim ''ron''. A player can get out of ''furiten'' by changing the hand composition.
This example hand is a ''tenpai'' hand waiting for a {{#mjt:2p}} - {{#mjt:5p}}, or {{#mjt:8p}}. If any of these tiles are in the player's discard pile, then the player cannot claim ''ron''. A player can get out of ''furiten'' by changing the hand composition.


A player may also become ''temporarily furiten'' when the player declines calling ''ron'', including when the player has zero ''yaku''. The temporary state ends after the player's next draw.<!--some sources say the state lasts one go-around, with interruptions ending the go-around/temporary furiten--> For some game situations, it may actually be beneficial not to declare ''ron'' on a discard in favor of increasing hand value, for example.
