When it is clear that a hand reaches basic points of more than 2,000, it is limited to full basic points of 2,000 and called mangan (満貫). A hand of five han or more is always counted as a multiple of mangan. In those cases there is no need to calculate basic points.
One han cannot reach mangan because 110 fu × 2(2+1) = 880 < 2,000. (With one han, 110 fu is the maximum.)
Two han cannot reach mangan because 110 fu × 2(2+2) = 1,760 < 2,000. (With two han, 110 fu is also the maximum.)
When a hand has 120 fu or more, it always has some yaku of three han or more.
| Name | Han value | Point value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mangan | 3 han, 70 fu or more; 4 han, 40 fu or more; 5 han |
1 × mangan | 12,000 (dealer) 8,000 (non-dealer) |
| is mangan as 70 × 2(2+3) = 2,240 > 2,000. The basic points become 2,000.
is mangan as 40 × 2(2+4) = 2,560 > 2,000. (In some rules is regarded as mangan because 30 × 2(2+4) = 1,920 is close to 2,000. is the same.) Five han is automatically mangan irrespective of fu since 20 fu × 2(2+5) = 2,560 > 2,000. |

| Haneman | 6 or 7 han | 1.5 × mangan | 18,000 (dealer) 12,000 (non-dealer) |
|
A 6 or 7 han hand is considered haneman (跳満, or hane-mangan 跳満貫) and the basic points are 3,000. |

| Baiman | 8−10 han | 2 × mangan | 24,000 (dealer) 16,000 (non-dealer) |
| An 8−10 han hand is considered baiman (倍満, or bai-mangan 倍満貫) and the basic points are 4,000. | |||
| Sanbaiman | 11 or 12 han | 3 × mangan | 36,000 (dealer) 24,000 (non-dealer) |
| An 11 or 12 han hand is considered sanbaiman (三倍満, or sanbai-mangan 三倍満貫) and the basic points are 6,000. | |||
| Kazoe-yakuman | 13 or more han | 4 × mangan | 48,000 (dealer) 32,000 (non-dealer) |
| In most rules, a hand with 13 han or above is considered kazoe-yakuman (数え役満; counted yakuman). It has the same scoring as yakuman (役満). | |||
| Yakuman | Limit | 4 × mangan | 48,000 (dealer) 32,000 (non-dealer) |
| A yakuman (役満, or yaku-mangan 役満貫) is awarded to some rare hands which are particularly hard to achieve, like kokushi-musō (国士無双; thirteen orphans) or sū-ankō (四暗刻; four closed melds of the same three tiles). The basic points are 8,000. | |||
| Multiple yakuman | Multiple limit | NA | Multiplied yakuman value |
| If the winning hand can be interpreted as combined forms of rare hands, multiple yakuman points are awarded. For example, a hand consisting of four closed quads of wind tiles plus a pair of dragon tiles would be worth six yakuman. | |||

Famous quotes containing the word mangan:
“Solomon! where is thy throne? It is gone in the wind.
Babylon! where is thy might? It is gone in the wind.
Happy in death are they only whose hearts have consigned
All Earth’s affections and longings and cares to the wind.”
—James Clarence Mangan (1803–1849)
“He, too, had tears for all souls in trouble,
Here and in hell.”
