Of all the standard yaku, sankantsu is the most difficult and least frequent. Its rate of occurrence is comparable to that of some yakuman. As the name implies, [[kan]] must be called three times before the end of the hand. A fourth kan converts the hand to the yakuman, [[suukantsu]]. | Of all the standard yaku, sankantsu is the most difficult and least frequent.

No sequential based yaku can combine with sankansu. This rules out [[pinfu]], [[iipeikou]], [[ittsu]], and [[sanshoku doujun]]. [[Chiitoitsu]] is incompatible due to its usage of [[toitsu|pairs]]. | No sequential based yaku can combine with sankansu. This rules out [[pinfu]], [[iipeikou]], [[ittsu]], and [[sanshoku doujun]].

Sankantsu's difficulty stems from its various pitfalls during hand development. For starters, attaining the tiles necessary to call kan three times is difficult onto itself. | |||
