Tenhou - Riichi Mahjong - This is why you don't kan when someone is in riichi.

Note my calls. I was iishanten for Ryou Iisou when I made that Kan, and the tile I'd drawn made me tenpai. Screw you.

@captainblue50 You understand that the only thing calling that kan does is let you see one more tile, right? Declaring a kan won't make your hand any bigger, since you're already shooting for a yakuman.

@RaikouRider It also gives you a replacement tile which means you effectively get two draws, making you that much closer to winning if it's a matching tile, which it did.

Cool.

How difficult is it to learn how to play mahjong?

[RaikouRider]

@Jimbobob5536 Not that bad. There's a yaku sheet I can link you to if you're interested in learning.
