Of all the standard yaku, sankantsu is the most difficult and least frequent.  Its rate of occurrence is comparable to that of some yakuman.  As the name implies, [[kan]] must be called three times before the end of the hand.  A fourth kan converts the hand to the yakuman, [[suukantsu]].

No sequential based yaku can combine with sankansu.  This rules out [[pinfu]], [[iipeikou]], [[ittsu]], and [[sanshoku doujun]].  [[Chiitoitsu]] is incompatible due to its usage of [[toitsu|pairs]].

=== Pitfalls ===
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.
