![]() The real answer to this question is “Whatever your hand lets you go for”. This isn’t always possible, and sometimes you just have to take what you can get, but getting 3900 point or mangan hands is the cornerstone of winning hanchan (East and South round) games. Players who just chase fast and cheap hands may win a lot of hands, but it’s unlikely that they’ll win a lot of games, because it’s usually far more effective to win less often, but with more valuable hands when you do.Ī good rule of thumb is to try and aim for 3 or 4 han at the start of each hand (so above 3900 points). Someone who wins six hands all at 1000 points each can be quickly overtaken by someone who wins just a single 8000 point mangan hand. Value is an important consideration because of the way scoring works in riichi mahjong, and the fact that hands increase sharply in value over the first few han. To win a hand, you just need to be the fastest person to complete your hand, but for winning games, the value of the hands you win starts to matter. Tile efficiency is important for winning hands, but for most mahjong players what they really want to do is to win games.
