Wanpai: Difference between revisions

The kan draws are always the four tiles clockwise to the dora indicator.  Not necessary but recommended, the first kan draw can be placed to the side of the second kan draw, like in the image to the right.  This is to prevent accidental revealing of that first tile, in case it gets knocked off.

Dead wall tiles are generally inaccessible, unless players call [[kan]].  Here, four tiles counterclockwise from the dora indicator are dedicated to kan calls.  Even then at all times, the dead wall must be maintained at 14 tiles.  In the event of a kan call, a tile is drawn by the player; and so a replacement tile from the end of the regular wall is added to the end of the dead wall.

The dead wall also holds the '''rinshanpai''' {{kana|嶺上牌}}, which are only accessible via [[naki|calls]] for [[kan]].  They are the four tiles between the dora indicator and the first cut of the wall.  In other words, they are the four tiles immediately clockwise from the dora indicator.  For every kan call, a player gains access to the dead wall and draws one rinshanpai.  After a discard, one tile from the end of the regular wall gets added to the dead wall, to retain the count of 14-tiles.  If the rinshanpai produces a winning tile. then this draw invokes the yaku, [[rinshan kaihou]].
