Talk:Kan

Copy text
Text brought over from terminology page:

Kan should be used in preference over quad wherever possible. Unlike a run or a triplet, a quad is not a legal meld until it is called or declared and a supplemental tile is drawn. Otherwise, a quad must be split up in order to win. Likewise, the Japanese include the term kan in melds formed by kan calls, but do not so with chii and pon. A chii call yields a minjun. A pon call yields an minkou. A kan calls yield a daiminkan. Furthermore, a declaration of a kan yields a shouminkan or an ankan.

See where this best fits here. KyuuAL 19:41, May 28, 2012 (UTC)
