How it's used
Refers specifically to a Mahjong hand composed entirely of terminal tiles and honour tiles. It is considered a high scoring hand and is quite rare to achieve in a standard game. Players often use it as a target when their initial draw contains many of these specific tiles.
Examples
I won a hand with all terminals and honours tonight.
Related words
Common mistake
Beginners often confuse this with other special hands that require specific patterns or sequences, whereas this hand relies purely on the composition of the tiles rather than their order.
