In the event of [[ryuukyoku|exhaustive draw]], [[abortive draw]], or a dealer win, the '''honba''' {{kana|本場}} or '''tsumibou count''' increases by 1 for the next hand.  This count increase for each time either the dealer wins a hand, [[ryuukyoku|exhaustive draw]] occurs (even after a dealer rotation), or any [[abortive draw]].  When any non-dealer wins a hand, then the honba count resets back down to zero.

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 100-point sticks are merely counters. If a non-dealer player wins a hand, the honba count resets back to zero.  If ryuukyoku occurs where the dealer is not tenpai, then the wind seating rotates and the honba count increases by 1.    For any time the wind seating rotates, the 100-point sticks are returned to the dealer; and the next dealer assumes responsibility of tracking the honba count.
'''This count increases hand values by a total of 300 per honba'''. For ron, the discarder pays the additional 300 pointsFor tsumo, everyone pays an additional 100 each. These extra points are added to the hand value after the capping as mangan, haneman, etc., so a non-dealer mangan tsumo with 2 honba costs 2,200 for a non-dealer and 4,200 for the dealer.

For online play, the honba count is automatically notedHowever, with real tiles, 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 100-point sticks are merely counters. If a non-dealer player wins a hand, the honba count resets back to zero.  If ryuukyoku occurs where the dealer is not tenpai, then the wind seating rotates and the honba count increases by 1.    For any time the wind seating rotates, the 100-point sticks are returned to the dealer; and the next dealer assumes responsibility of tracking the honba count.


A custom rule named '''basengo''' {{kana|場千五}} may be used, by which the honba value is five times the normal value.  With this rule, instead of 300 points per honba, it is 1500 points per honba.  This rule is not commonly used; and instead, it can be found under gambling situations.
