Digging Flowers, called Wa hua in Chinese and also known as Dachen Mahjong, is a tile-based game similar to mahjong and rummy in which four players compete to form their own winning hand of 21 tiles using melds of two- and three-tile sets. Like mahjong, players build their hands by both drawing from a shuffled wall and acquiring discards from other players. The literal meaning of its Chinese name is dig flowers. Its rules therefore combine the meld-building of rummy with the wall-drawing and discard-claiming of mahjong, and every one of the four players aims for a complete hand of 21 tiles.
