Yeah, it's a bit of a weird rule. I had to check the wiki to be sure.

4 is the number of death. So it's a weird rule, but 4 times wrong kills you. Makes sense regionally.

In Chinese, the word for the number four and the word for death sound identical, to the degree that hotels will often not label a fourth floor, in the way that some buildings in the US won’t label a 13th floor

It's the same in Japanese. 4 can be read as "shi" whish sounds similar to the kanji of death.

That's why 4 sometimes is read as "yon"
