Yakuman 「役満」 are a class of yaku (hand patterns), whose default point value is set at the maximum limit. Only a subclass of yakuman, kazoe yakuman, actually counts the number of han. The rest of the patterns are simply applied the point limit. This is due to the level of difficulty attaining the hands, due to low probability and low frequency.
Difficulty
A yakuman's value stems from its difficulty to form; and this difficulty is tied to its rarity as well as various limitations. These limitations impose some scarcity pertaining to specific tiles; or a limitation may impose a very specific condition, particularly for the likes of tenhou and chihou.
Multiple yakuman
Some yakuman patterns may combine with each other. This is only because the tile patterns allow them to do so. The most common combination may involve tsuuiisou, which is able to combine with either daisangen or suushisou (wind based yakuman).
