While furiten may be an annoying mechanic, it helps players defend against others. '''Because of the furiten rule, any tile another player discarded is 100% safe against that specific player.''' | While furiten may be an annoying mechanic, it helps players defend against others.

To get yourself out of discard furiten, you may change your hand's shape so that it is no longer able to win with any of your previously discarded tiles. | |||
Players will often get into furiten if they do not know the yaku, or have a non-guaranteed yaku. Therefore, knowledge of the yaku is important. | |||
===Other Furiten=== | |||
There are two other types of furiten: | |||
* If you decline to take the first possible win after declaring [[riichi]], you enter permanent furiten. | |||
* If you decline to take a win with a non-riichi hand, you enter furiten until your next draw. (This applies even if winning with that tile couldn't give you a yaku.) | |||
This means that, after an opponent declares riichi, any tile anyone discards thereafter is safe against the riichi-declaring player. | |||
Similarly, the tile the player to your left discarded is 100% safe against all 3 players for that turn only. | |||
