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]]. The difficulty stems from the need to call kan three times; but overall, the use of kan is risky play due to additional [[dora|kan-dora]], which may benefit the other players. This is true even for a single kan call, let alone three times. | Of all the standard yaku, sankantsu is the most difficult and least frequent.

=== Viability === | |||
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. | |||

No sequential based yaku can combine with sankansu. Three out of the four possible tile groups must be called for kan, and they can be referred as "triplets plus one extra". This rules out [[pinfu]], [[iipeikou]], [[ittsu]], and [[sanshoku doujun]]. [[Chiitoitsu]] is incompatible due to its usage of [[toitsu|pairs]]. | No sequential based yaku can combine with sankansu.
