4 triplets is awesome cause it lets me recover from bad decisions all the time. I love not facing consequences for my actions

The other most common Yaku, and the reason to open your hand is âAll simplesâ or âTanyaoâ. Itâs the same thing more or less, but your hand cannot be compromised of any special tiles, and no tiles with the number 1 or 9. So four sets of straights or triplets and a pair with ONLY tiles numbered 2-8.

By the way, you can pretty easily achieve more than one Yaku in any hand. Each Yaku you achieve increases your points gained based on the Yaku.
Both the yaku iâve talked about are â1 Hanâ or 1000 points. The smallest and easiest to achieve.
The big fish that all the timmy players go for are the Yakuman.

Yakuman are notoriously difficult to achieve and getting one almost instantaneously wins you the game. My personal favorite Yakuman is âDaisanganâ which is having 3 (or 4) of EVERY Dragon tile.

Igot close to that one once and then immediately impulsively called a seven pairs hand for fun. Youve always got to go for seven pairs chat

Another infamous one is âThirteen Orphansâ or âKokushi Musouâ. Itâs one of the few valid hands not composed of 4 runs and a pair.
Thirteen Orphans is having one of EVERY SINGLE honor tile, and an extra copy of one for the pair. (all valid hands need a pair). Honor tiles are Dragon Tiles (Red, White and Green), Wind Tiles (N W S E (compass directions for the wind)), and The 1s and 9s from every suit. Itâs a very rare hand, but iâve actually hit this one on Mahjong Soul a couple of times. Itâs a meme to go for it, but when you hit it, it is literally the nuts

I only got Mahjong Soul recently I used to exclusively play on the shittiest site in the world with friends. I miss that site gonna be honest it sucked so bad but we couldnât play there anymore because one day the bots just started automatically declaring Riichi immediately, every single hand. Yes the site lets you chombo they were completely throwing it was hilarious but also literally unplayable

The site had no background music but all the voicelines for calls were extremely loud so youâd just constantly get jumpscared. Mahjong is a horror game

Be aware that when your hand is ready to win, the system may trick you to declare a wrong mahjong by promoting the Mahjong button when you do not have mahjong.
Why? Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Get false mahjonged idiot
