The count for [[honba]] keeps track of the number of consecutive hands, by which no one has won a hand.  Every time ryuukyou or even [[tochuu ryuukoku]] (abortive draw) occurs, this count increases by one.  Barring [[rule variations|house rules]], the count may or may not increase regarding [[chombo]].  When a non-dealer player wins a hand, the count resets back to zero.

== Variation ==
Variation on ryuukyoku stems from the qualification of tenpai.  Under some rules and conditions, hands appear to be in tenpai will be declared as noten instead.
{{#mjt:12m567p888s11z}} {{#mjt:0z33m0z}}
Some many consider this hand as noten, despite needing one tile for completion.  However, the hand is also [[karaten]], or impossible to complete because all possible tiles for completion are used with the [[kan]] call.  So, instead of gaining points, the player loses points at ryuukyoku.
