Yaku overview pdf
December 20th, 2009 by drobCrossposted to 0x23mahjong, because I'm awesome that way.
A simple yaku overview sheet (2 pages), based on tenhou's yaku table. No scoring tables, no rules. Image quality sucks, because I'm too lazy to do better (sue me). Spot any mistakes just tell me and I'll fix it for the next version. Here it is.

No suu-kan-tsu.

Sure there is, look at page 2.

The Pinfu is missing a tile

Yeah, that's intentional since the rules for pinfu are so specific; I should probably mention that in the text.

Hahah, I remember back when I tried to PDF a Spanish yaku chart I made, the hands I generated were consisted of random sets I just made up on spot, and later on I noticed the chin itsu I had made was also a chuu ren accidentally. So, yeah, assembling yaku charts and all is not that simple when you have to include all special circumstances that turn one yaku into another, and the like (toi toi, vs suu an kou, vs san an kou, why pinfu is pinfu, etc). So, the PDF is very appreciated, drob! Thanks.

Shou San Gen -> 2 han?
December 28th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
@zero
Shou san gen, 2 han. Plus 1 han of one of the yakuhai, plus the 1 han of the other yakuhai. It's the same thing if you want to say Shou San Gen is 4 han without counting the yakuhai, or 2 han counting the yakuhai.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm still a beginner, and I was a little confused because I saw "4 han" on other sites.
But yeah, now I understand.

You're welcome.
Do note that the same thing may occur in some sites with Hon Rou Tou. 4 fan as a whole (counting toitoi/chitoi), or 2 fan without counting toitoi/chitoi.

Chuuren-pooto must be closed? or can be both, open and closed?
January 2nd, 2010 at 5:10 pm
@Shinji-core: Chuuren must be closed.

About chuuren, I've been wondering... if you have ankan'd the 1 or 9, it doesn't count as chuuren anymore, right? Or does it? Looking at it from one side, you have ruined the shape of the chuuren, but on the other, it's still closed and may be counted as chuuren if we consider the ankan as a koutsu (like when you have an ankan in your suu an kou). So... I'm not quite sure.

Excellent chart, I didn't know you could get suu an kou by ron if it was on a pair, speaking of which, wouldn't you get 2 yakuman for that? Or does tenhou not use that rule? Also, what about Renhou (going out on a discard before your first actual turn) and maybe you could explain Nagashi Mangan if there's room. And one more, isn't seven sequential pairs worth a yakuman or not? Some games I've played allow from the beginning but others, its an optional rule; I just wanted to know what the "official" stance on this hand is. For your entry for "chuuren pooto" does not specify that it is worth a yakuman; I just pointed that out because every other hand did. Nitpicking aside, I like the chart and I love this blog as well.

Q: Excellent chart, I didn't know you could get suu an kou by ron if it was on a pair, speaking of which, wouldn't you get 2 yakuman for that? Or does tenhou not use that rule?
A: Tenhou allows what is weirdly described as "multiple single yakuman". You have to score two distinct yakuman to score double yakuman. 4-ankou tanki, 4 big winds, tsu-ii-sou is 3Y on Tenhou, but most live games would effectively count 5Y. (2+2+1)
Q: Also, what about Renhou (going out on a discard before your first actual turn)
Renhou is almost never regarded as yakuman anymore. Some places straight up ban it, others give it 4 or 5 han. Not allowed on Tenhou.
Q: and maybe you could explain Nagashi Mangan if there's room.
A: All discards have to be terminal or honor tiles. The game must end in a draw, and you may not have called or have been called for any tiles. Done before checking hands for tenpai.
Q: And one more, isn't seven sequential pairs worth a yakuman or not? Some games I've played allow from the beginning but others, its an optional rule; I just wanted to know what the "official" stance on this hand is
A: Daisharin (22334455667788) just by regular yaku is worth sanbaiman. Not having it as a yakuman is no big loss. The other false big wheels are worth a bit less. Not counted as yakuman on tenhou, but two dora will do the trick (or one and tsumo).
Q. For your entry for "chuuren pooto" does not specify that it is worth a yakuman; I just pointed that out because every other hand did. Nitpicking aside, I like the chart and I love this blog as well.
A: I'm sure drob will fix that someday, maybe. But yeah, until an alternative comes up, this is the best mahjong site in English on the internet.

Well, with Senjo's answer I might as well remove mine since mine's less eloquent.
Also, Nagashi Mangan isn't a yaku, so whether it should go on the sheet or not I'm not entirely sure of. I'm thinking no.
Sheet-wise: Fixed Chuuren Pooto, mentioned that the pinfu example features an open wait. Updated.
@xKime:
Chuuren Pooto can't contain any kan, closed or otherwise.

Also, Sanshoku Doujun doesn't mention that it's 1han value when open.
January 13th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
Good catch, fixed.
February 17th, 2010 at 11:01 am
Isn't Sanshoku Douko worth 2 han open/closed?
February 17th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
San Shoku Dou Kou is not the same as San Shoku Dou Jun.
San Shoku Dou Kou is 2 han, yaku. San Shoku Dou Jun is 2 han closed, 1 han open, kuisagari. No exceptions.
February 17th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Well, the yaku overview sheet says that San shoku douko is 2 han closed, 1 han open. Is it wrong?
February 17th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
thanks for pointing that out, it's 2 han open and closed
February 18th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
What are you saying thanks for, TACOS? It's my sheet :<
Fixed, uploaded. TACOS already said thanks, so I don't have to.
...
thanks.
