Kan
Kan

The use of four identical tiles as a single Meld is called a Kan.

Three Kan Types

1. Closed Kan (when you have all 4 tiles)

2. Open Kan (when you steal the 4th tile)

3. Late Kan (when you draw the 4th tile and add to a Pon )

Four Steps to a Kan

1. Declare Kans by stating "Kan" and revealing all four tiles.

2. Draw an extra tile from the Stock tiles.

3. Turn over an extra Dora (the Kan Dora).

4. Discard.

Note: You may not Kan on the last tile (whether drawn by yourself or discarded by another player).
