'''Han''' {{kana|飜}} is the main portion of scoring, as each [[yaku]] is assigned a value in terms of han. Most of the yaku are valued at either 1 or 2, but the values, not counting yakuman hands, go as high as 6 han for a closed [[chinitsu]]. Some yaku are worth [[Kuisagari|one fewer han when open]], and some cannot be scored with an open hand, but many yaku are not scored the same regardless of whether the hand is open or closed. | '''Han''' {{kana|飜}} is the main portion of scoring, as each [[yaku]] is assigned a value in terms of han.

Afterwards, the [[dora]] are counted. Each [[dora]] tile in the hand counts as additional han. Dora are ordinarily worth 1 han each. Additional dora indicators may increase that value. | |||
