Character 2-8s are not used in Kansi Riichi. This in turn has some implications on the game. The more obvious one is that you can not make a mixed triple chow (San shoku doujun, 三色同順), since no chiis can be formed from the characters. The second implication of removing the character 2-8 tiles is that when the dora indicator is character 1 the dora is character 9 and vice versa.[/text_output][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner inner_container=”true” no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” bg_video=”” class=”” style=””][vc_column_inner fade=”true” fade_animation=”in-from-left” fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″ id=”” class=”” style=””][custom_headline level=”h4″ looks_like=”h4″ id=”” class=”” style=””]Only Pon/Kan – No Chiis In Kansai[/custom_headline][text_output]During the game play you can not declare a Chii on discards from the player to your left.
