Three Concealed Pungs (三暗刻)
Three concealed (self-drawn) pungs. Requires tsumo on a non-pung tile.
How Three Concealed Pungs (三暗刻) works
A hand containing three pungs that were each formed concealed — completed without claiming a discard.
Three of the hand's sets must be pungs (or kongs) that were assembled from self-drawn tiles rather than by calling another player's discard, so a pung completed on a claimed tile does not count as concealed. The fourth set may be any meld and the pair is free. This pattern stacks above the lower two-concealed-pung fan and is implied by a fully concealed pung-heavy hand.
- •A pung completed by claiming a discard is exposed for this purpose, even if the other two tiles were in hand.
- •A concealed kong counts the same as a concealed pung toward the three.
- •The lower two-concealed-pung fan is implied and absorbed when three are present.
