Our heroic team was down 350 points. The game was almost over. This was the time to call Grand Tichu. And, unfortunately, it was not me. Although I did force Mike to do it. And apparaently, it was a risky call. Adam was strong and would have gone out. But Mike did have the right cards needed to go out!

On the next hand, we are now down 90 points. In all probability, this is the last hand. No Grand Tichu call was made. So I called Tichu before the pass. And if I were to make it, it would then be a battle over points. Another problem is that during the play, a lot of points were given to Adam. So now I need to go out first and force Adam to go out last. Sadly, my goal was not accomplished. Although it was an amusing hand!
