Tichu

Description

Tichu is a partnership climbing card game, and the object of play is to rid yourself of your hand, preferably while scoring points in the deck is a standard 52-card pack with four special cards added: dog, phoenix, dragon and Mah Jong. When it’s your turn, you may either beat the current top card combination – single card, pair of cards, sequence of pairs, full house, etc. – or pass. If play passes all the way back to the player who laid the top cards, he wins the trick, clears the cards, and can lead the next one.
