Pung

Learn when a triplet call is legal.

Concept

Pung completes a triplet from any player.

Pung means using the latest discard to complete a triplet. If you have two matching tiles in your concealed hand and any player discards the third, you may call Pung.

The triplet becomes open, and then you discard. Unlike Chow, Pung can be called using a discard from any player.
