I invented the term \"kan-gratulations\" as a sporting thing to say to an opponent who finds themselves in this happy situation. :lol:

I meant, what is it called when the kan-dora indicator is exactly what is needed to make the tiles of the just-declared kan into dora tiles?

If it happens to yourself: \"Holy smokes, I HAVE to win this hand.\"

If it happens to someone else: \"Ugh, stupid random number generator! It must be rigged!\"
