Supplement Tile After a Kong

Understand the replacement draw after declaring kong.

Concept

Declare kong, expose kong, draw supplement.

A kong uses four physical tiles but still counts as one set in the hand structure.

Because the kong uses an extra tile, you draw a supplement tile after declaring it. The supplement comes from the dead wall, not the live wall. This is to ensure your hand always has 13 tiles in it across your conceraled hand and exposed melds.

Rule in plain English

Expose first.

Declare and expose the kong first, then draw the supplement tile from the dead wall.
