I choose you, Tichu!


Buy this game now. I was given Tichu a few years as a Christmas present. It took two years before it was experienced. Two wasted joyless years.
The best way to learn this game is to have someone teach it to you, if this is not an option go onto boardgamegeek.com and find a video to watch. We decided to do it the natural way. Four people sat across from each other, sweating, glaring, angry and a little yelly. After the labor of learning Tichu we immediately fell in love with the bouncing trick taking baby!
For those of you who have played "Scum" or "The Great Dalmuti", you will already know the basics and will most likely find Tichu as the next step in gaming perfection.


Pros: Mah Jong, Faithful Hounds, Phoenixes, Dragons and Bombs
Double Dragons when using both decks
Playing in teams is awesome!

Cons: The learning process may kill you
