== Visible tiles ==
All tiles shown in the [[discard pile|discards]], [[dora]] indicator(s), and even one's own hand.  These tiles are noted as "visible tiles".  Players take into account, that every tile type has three copies plus its own.  In other words, for every tile, there are four of them.  With that in mind, for each specific tile type, players can keep track of how many are left available, as the discard piles grow, along with the tiles in the hand.

{{main|Kan}}
[[Naki|Calls]] for kan have an astute effect on kabe, as this tile call requires all four of a single tile type.  So immediately, this renders particular tiles as unavailable to the other players.

As a consequence, the unavailability of certain tiles may hinder one's hand from either [[tenpai]], [[agari|completion]], or even forming certain yaku.  This is particularly the case for [[yakuman]].  In the case of [[kokushi musou]], if all four of a tile type required for that yakuman, then the possibility for any player completing the hand is completely nullified.
