In a sense, they are synonymous to "poker hands". Yet, unlike poker hands, yaku are worth specific "[[scoring|han values]]", and various yaku may be combined together into one hand. Basic mahjong knowledge involves learning the yaku, but it is not expected of new players to know them. '''Most importantly, every hand must include at least one yaku in order to count as a winning hand'''. | ||
