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 end up drawing from the dora indicators, so the fifth kan is forbidden. 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.
