This is a table showing the compatibilities of the different [[yaku]] with each other. While yaku may be combined in one hand, it is simply impossible to combine certain yaku with each other.
This is a table showing the compatibilities of the different [[yaku]] with each other. While yaku may be combined in one hand, it is simply impossible to combine certain yaku with each other. This can arise for two reasons:


Alternatively, some yaku would always imply another. For instance, a [[junchan]] hand has a terminal in every group. This also fits the definition of [[chanta]], which mandates that the hand has a terminal or honor in each group. Every junchan hand is a chanta hand, so chanta is not scored. By rule, two yaku cannot be combined if one always implies the other. (A partial exception is with [[shousangen]]. Shousangen always implies two dragon yakuhai, but does not always imply you have any one of "haku", "hatsu", or "chun".)
# Conflicting definitions. [[Tanyao]] requires the hand contains no honor tiles, but [[yakuhai]] requires a triplet of honor tiles, so the two cannot be combined.
# When a yaku always implies another yaku, they cannot score together. For instance, a [[junchan]] hand has a terminal in every group. This also fits the definition of [[chanta]], which mandates that the hand has a terminal or honor in each group. Every junchan hand is also a chanta hand, so chanta is not scored.

Some combinations form a different yaku which implies one component of the combination, and as a result can never be counted:
