One player is designated as the wareme. The payment to and from the wareme player is doubled (excluding honba and riichi bets). Due to the lack of physical wall position, the game determines the wareme player in a different way. In each round, one random player get a wareme marker. This switches randomly every five turns. The same player can be chosen when the marker switches. | One player is designated as the wareme. The payment to and from the wareme player is doubled (excluding honba and riichi bets).

With such high noten penalties, it is always recommended to try to keep tenpai / advance towards tenpai. If you give up going for tenpai, you'll just have to pay it back at the exhaustive draw. Trying to hold a tile from the excluded suit is especially risky and almost never recommended. Due to these penalties, the lack of [[furiten]], and lack of riichi calls, traditional defense is much weaker. Probably the best to play "defensive" is to win fast with cheap hands. | ||
There is no score penalty towards opening your hand. Therefore, triplets are more powerful, and [[shanpon]] waits become more common. Triplets also get the benefit of enabling kan, which increases score through kan payments and root. | There is no score penalty towards opening your hand.

A hand using sequences rarely scores yaku. The only yaku that allow sequences are chinitsu, junchan, root, and the other bonus yaku. Still, keeping sequences will let your hand develop faster, thus allowing you to escape payment from others. Plus, even a yakuless tsumo is worth 6000 points if nobody has won yet. | A hand using sequences rarely scores yaku.
