Suukaikan is an [[abortive draw]] that occurs when a total of four kans have been called by at least two players. Once the fourth kan has been made, the [[kyoku|hand]] immediately ends once the kan-declarer discards a tile. | Suukaikan is an [[abortive draw]] that occurs when a total of four kans have been called by at least two players.

However, if a single player makes four kans by themselves (thus entering tenpai for [[suukantsu]]), this draw does not occur. The game continues, giving the player a chance to score the yakuman.

This abortive draw exists due to how the [[dead wall]] works. Each time a kan is declared, a tile is drawn from the dead wall. The dead wall is 14 tiles large, with 10 tiles reserved as [[dora]] indicators, leaving 4 tiles left for kan calls. After four kans, players would be unable to declare kan again, as the fifth kan would draw from the dora indicators. So, unless someone is in tenpai for suukantsu, the game ends immediately after the fourth kan, to avoid the issue of "players not being able to declare kan". | This abortive draw exists due to how the [[dead wall]] works.
