Tenbou

Tenbou 「点棒」 are the point sticks used to keep track of scores. In a sense, these sticks may be viewed as the game's "currency". When points are exchanged between players, they may either give exact values or give values while requiring some change. Some gambling games may actually tie these point sticks to money.

In the event of honba, players use 100 point sticks and add them to the round indicator. These merely serve as markers, and when a dealer rotation occur, players keep their 100 point sticks used to keep track of the honba count, after a dealer rotation.

	100 point stick
	1000 point stick
	5000 point stick
	10000 point stick

At the start of the game, players begin with the regular 25,000 points:

• A single 10,000 stick
• Two 5,000 sticks
• Four 1,000 sticks
• Ten 100 sticks

Naturally, if players wish to change the starting value for the game, they may do so by adjusting this distribution.
