What Is a Call?

Understand claiming another player's discard.

Concept

A call is a clear claim on the latest discard.

A call is a spoken claim on the most recent discard. You are saying, clearly and immediately, that you want to use that tile.

The main calls are Chow, Pung, Kong, and Win. Calls are powerful, but they expose information and can change turn order.
