'''Shuntsu''' {{kana|順子}} ("sequences") | '''Shuntsu''' {{kana|順子}} ("sequences") are a tile group consisting of three consecutive number tiles. Note that 9 does not "wrap around" to 1 - you cannot have sequences of "891" or "912". In addition, you cannot make sequences by using honor tiles. | ||
Closed sequences are called '''anjun''' {{kana|暗順}}. The open variety are '''minjun''' {{kana|明順}}. To form a '''minjun''', players are limited to calling tiles from [[kamicha]], or the player from the left.

Furthermore, an added restriction is applied by [[kuikae]], which applies to calls off of previously completed sequences. | Closed sequences are called '''anjun''' {{kana|暗順}}.
