Tile calls allow you to add discard tiles | |||

Chii and | Chii and pon are open calls. They let you claim tiles that opponents discard, allowing you to 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 | '''[[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 sequence. You may only call chii to the player to your left. This reveals the 2 tiles used for the call, and after revealing, the completed set is placed on the side of the table. | ||
'''Pon''' - The call to complete a triplet. You must have 2+ tiles of the same type, then any opponent needs to discard another tile of that type. You may call pon from any player's discard. | '''[[Pon]]''' - The call to complete a triplet. You must have 2+ tiles of the same type, then any opponent needs to discard another tile of that type.

After calling chii or pon, you discard a tile immediately, and it becomes the next player's turn. Therefore, when calling pon, you may skip other players' turns. | After calling chii or pon, you discard a tile immediately, and it becomes the next player's turn.

After calling, you may not adjust the called set afterwards. So if you chii a 123 sequence, you may not change the sequence after drawing a 4. Also, because it reveals a part of the hand, other players may know the type/value of hand you are going for. | |||
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. | Usually, you are unable to "swap call" - you cannot discard a tile that would complete the set you just called.

Despite having 4 tiles, a kan is treated as a single set. Whenever you call kan, you draw a new tile, and your hand size increases by 1. Therefore, after 1 kan call, a ready hand will be 14 tiles, and a winning hand will be 15 tiles. | Despite having 4 tiles, a kan is treated as a single set.

After calling kan, like chii and pon, you may not adjust the tiles used for the kan afterwards. | |||
Calling kan will also reveal a new [[dora]] indicator. This may increase the value of anyone's hand, not just your own. | Calling kan will also reveal a new [[dora]] indicator. This may increase the value of anyone's hand, not just your own. | ||
