Lunch Time Tichuers 03/14/2006

I made one mistake for my missed Tichu call. I had Dragon+A+A+Q+Q left and led QQ. Dan overtook with AA and worked his way down to leading a full house with one card left. Ed, who had 5 cards left was in an obvious dilemma. If he passes then Dan is out first and I miss my Tichu call. It is obvious that he has a greater full house in his possession. So if he plays it then he sets me. Which he does, for at least, he is able to get the taken tricks of the last place person. I should have played D then AA then QQ. Sigh. On the last hand, we decide not to go for GrandTichu. I have Ace and Phoenix and decide to pass the dog to Ed and call Tichu no matter what. Fortunately, Ed was able to help me go out first! And we got enough points to win the game!!

This game was also weird in that there were a number of hands where one team got 100 points...
