Today, I was in a risky mood. I decided to be more agressive in calling Tichu. For my Grand Tichu call, I had an Ace, Dragon, Dog, and Mahjong. I passed my partner the Dog and he passed me an Ace. I wished for an Ace in order to promote my hand a little bit. Unfortunately, Jon was hit by it.
Ed had a number of black straight bombs… I think three of them during the game. And he was able to stop me with them. But I got my revenge. I was able to set one of his calls and over Tichu another of his calls.
The end was tight. We were running out of time. And unfortunately for me, we played one too many hands. Not only did I loose, but I was late for my 1pm meeting. What hurt us was our inability to score any points in the last two hands. Or maybe, I should have not called a risky Tichu. Sigh.
