===Open Calls===
Chii and Pon are open calls. They let you complete the hand faster, but prevent you from gaining certain yaku (most importantly, riichi), and make other yaku cheaper.
'''Chii''' - The call to complete a sequence. First, you need 2 tiles that can complete a sequence. Then, the player right before you (the player to your left) must discard a tile that completes the squence. You may only call chii to the player to your left.

Usually, you are unable to "swap call" - you cannot discard a tile that would complete the set you just called. For example, if you had call 4-sou with a 23-sou semi-sequence, you cannot discard a 1. If you pon a 5-man, you cannot discard another 5-man.

'''Kan''' - Kan is the call to complete a quad. It is complicated - new players don't need to worry about it. For the studious, there are three types of kan.
===Kan===
*Open kan - You have 3 tiles of the same type, then any opponent needs to discard another tile of that type. Works like pon does.

*Closed kan - You have 3 tiles of the same type, then draw the 4th one.

*Closed kan - You have 3 tiles of the same type, then draw the 4th one. This call does not open the hand, so you may declare riichi after closed kan.
*Added kan - You previously called pon and draw the 4th tile of the same type.
