Chicken Hand

Chicken Hand is an MCR-specific safety net. Since MCR requires at least 8 fan to declare a win, a hand with a valid winning structure but no scoring patterns at all would otherwise be unwinnable. The Chicken Hand rule awards exactly 8 fan to such a hand so the win still counts. In practice, Chicken Hands are rare because most hands score at least 1-2 fan from basic patterns like All Chows or No Honors.
