Hi everyone!
I\'m actually learning about the scoring of Riichi Mahjong, but I\'m a bit confused about that two terms: Yaku and Fan (or Han), I\'d want know if that terms are synonymous, or if they have two different meanings.. :unsure:
Thanks a lot!

Re:Points question
A yaku is a pattern or criteria which, if met, is worth han.
For example, toitoihou is a yaku, which is worth two han.

This very question was discussed extensively in another thread here. The thread title is "Open Tanyao," if you want to read it. The discussion began on page 7 of that thread.Frow wrote:Hi everyone!

Re:Points question
I would say:
Yaku = Pattern
Han = Point(s)
Yaku = Pattern
Han = Point(s)
Re:Points question
A \"han\" (or \"fan\") in a \"double\". Roughly speeking, each han you have double your points (called \"fu\").
A \"yaku\" is a pattern which allow you to win the hand. It also gives you one or more han.
