About the game

What is 六華 (Rikka)?

Rikka is a game that simply recreates the experience of the popular traditional game Mahjong. The aim is to complete the "role" faster than anyone else by exchanging the 6 tiles in your hand with the tiles on the field. There are only three types of roles, and the feature is that anyone can play easily. When it's your turn, just draw one tile from the field and discard one. Although it is a simple action, you can change the hand you are aiming for by switching the tiles in your hand up and down, and you will notice that there are many options. The game ends when someone completes a role, and they take scoring chips according to their role. The person who collects 10 or more scoring chips will gain fame as a fireworks master!
