*'''Same suit quads'''. [[Kan]] are four-of-a-kind. However, in an actual sense, quads actually count as three-of-a-kind plus one, where players are actually awarded special privileges for possessing four of one type of tile.

===Quads===
===Kantsu===
A special set of rules and procedures applies to [[Kan|quads]]. Aside from completing a quad from discards, a player may also have a complete meld of a quad in hand. This is a '''closed quad'''. Calling a ''kan'' is also applicable in this case, and upon doing so, a player can retain the state of a '''closed hand''', unless the hand was previously opened. ''This closed quad can only be called on the player's turn after the draw from the wall''. After the call, the player reveals proof of the quad; and then the quad is put to the side like any other called meld, and it is arranged in any of the three arrangements (being the first as preferable):
{{main|Kan}}
*{{Tile|back}}{{Tile|east}}{{Tile|east}}{{Tile|back}}

Upon calling any ''kan'', a player gains the privilege of drawing an extra tile from the ''dead wall''. This is one of the first 4 tiles to the left of the ''dora-indicator''. Afterwards, if the the extra tile does not complete the hand, the player must discard and play moves on to the right. As a sidenote, for each call ''kan'', the player's tile count increases by 1 for each quad. Once again, a quad counts as a triplet plus one.
