 The procedure of drawing, discarding, and maintaining a hand ends when someone declares a complete hand and wins the hand. A hand may end when all the tiles, except for the dead-wall tiles, are drawn, or when a player ''chombos'', meaning making an illegal play. After the end of the hand, points are exchanged accordingly. Then afterwards, the tiles are reshuffled to setup the next hand, or ''renchan''.

+===Winning a hand===
-Agari is simply the generic term for winning a hand.  Once again, a winning hand is composed of a [[tenpai]] hand; and a winning tile may be claimed. Of course, a player must actively declare the win '''(ron or tsumo)''', or else, the player may also decline the win.  Though, the latter option may be used for specific and strategic instances. This can also be attained by the dead-wall draw with the special tsumo of [[rinshan kaihou]] yaku. Two other special win claims can be attained by ron via [[chankan]].
+Ideally, players seek to win hands.  Once again, a winning hand is composed of a [[tenpai]] hand; and a winning tile may be claimed.

 It is most important to note: '''winning a hand requires a minimum of one [[yaku]].'''
