Robbing the kong
If a player adds a drawn tile to an exposed pung to make a kong, and that tile would complete another player's hand, the other player may "rob" the kong by claiming it for the win. The robbery usually adds a faan. It is one of the few times a player can claim a tile that was never discarded.
Winning on a kong replacement
After declaring a kong, a player draws a replacement tile. If that tile completes their hand, they win "on the kong" (槓上開花, "flower blooming on the kong"), typically worth extra faan. Kong-on-kong wins are rarer and worth more.
Last-tile wins
Winning on the very last tile of the wall, by self-draw or on the last discard, earns a bonus in many rule sets. It rewards patience and gives a final twist to hands that seemed headed for a draw.
Heavenly and earthly hands
A heavenly hand (天糊) is a dealer's fourteen dealt tiles already forming a winning hand. An earthly hand (地糊) is a non-dealer winning on the dealer's first discard. Both are limit hands at most tables — and almost never seen.
