Sankantsu's difficulty stems from its various pitfalls during hand development. For starters, attaining the tiles necessary to call kan three times is difficult onto itself. In order to call kan in the first place, a player has to draw three out of the four tiles. | Sankantsu's difficulty stems from its various pitfalls during hand development. For starters, attaining the tiles necessary to call kan three times is difficult onto itself. In order to call kan in the first place, a player has to draw three out of the four tiles. In terms of frequency, games do not involve calls for kan all that often, let alone more than one instance in a hand. Even when someone is tenpai for sankantsu, the hand can end in the event another player calls kan for a fourth time, invoking an [[abortive draw]]. | ||
