'''Suukantsu''' {{kana|四槓子}} is a standard [[yakuman]] | '''Suukantsu''' {{kana|四槓子}} is a standard [[yakuman]] obtained when the hand has called [[kan]] four times. As a result, it always has a [[Tanki|hadaka tanki machi]], because four [[naki|tile calls]] are required. Suukantsu is the rarest hand in the game, even more rare than [[tenhou and chiihou|tenhou or chiihou]]. It is also the longest, requiring 18 tiles total. | ||

* A player has a pair and calls pon. Then draws the fourth to [[shouminkan|call kan]]. | This yakuman requires four kan calls. As a result, the hand in [[tenpai]] always uses [[Tanki|hadaka tanki]]. In order to call a single kan, a player must draw at least 3 out of 4 of a single tile type under any of these three scenarios: | ||

*You must obtain a total of 4/4 tiles of four different types. If any tile is rendered unavailable (e.g. in an opponents hand, in the dead wall), the hand is practically impossible. | |||
*You must obtain 3/4 tiles of four different types by self draw. This feat is already worth a yakuman, that being [[suuankou]]. | |||
*After the third kan, any other player may call kan to trigger the [[suukaikan]] hand abortion (if the ruleset allows abortive draws). | |||
*Calling four kans adds four kan dora, which will greatly boost the value of others' hands. | |||
*Calling four kans immediately reveals you have a yakuman hand, so players are likely to defend. | |||
* | *The hand always has a hadaka tanki wait. In addition to being difficult to win off, it leaves you with no room to defend. | ||
