Closed Kan

Kan is very close to Pon, but it completes Quads. If you have a Set, you can change it into a Quad with a Kan. Like Pon, you can Kan from any player. Unlike Pon, whenever a player Kans an extra Dora Indicator is turned over.

Declaring a Closed Kan

1. You have in your hand. 2. On your turn (after the draw), you say "Kan" and place the tiles to your right as follows:

The two tiles face down indicate a closed quad.

3. Take an extra tile from the Stock tiles.

The Stock tiles are the four tiles to the right of the Dora indicator.
here they are labeled 1-4.

4. Turn over the next Kan Dora.

Kan Dora
	A. There can be up to 4 Kan Doras. Here they are labeled 1-4. B. An extra tile from the end of the Wall is added to the Dead tiles for each Kan Dora, so that there are always 14 dead tiles.

5. And finally, discard.

Note that you may declare a Closed Kan after a Reach, but only if the Wait does not change as a result.
