And I tried a different strategy when my tiles consisted of 5 blue.  I created an external conflict that won in blue but lost in black and red just to get those tiles out of my hand.  Later in the game I was limited by black tiles and could not draw any.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-11172005(002).jpg\" alt=\"Game #3\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/game\/215\">Tichu<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAhhh, Tichu, the perfect compliment to Mu.  I started the game off well by making my Tichu call.  However our luck changed for the worst.  On my first Grand Tichu call, I had 3 aces and was passed the mahjong so I wished for the remaining ace.  I made that GT call.  And on my next GT call, I once again had 3 aces, was passed the mahjong, and called out the remaining ace.  I didn&#8217;t make that call unfortunately and we lost the game.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-11172005(003).jpg\" alt=\"Game #4\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/game\/6688\">99<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd for the last game of the night, Adam suggested 99.  This is yet another trick taking card game.  But this one is designed for three players (not many are).  I had played this game once, long ago and made a couple of mistakes (like not knowing that there was a trump suit).  But still fun, and is a game I would play again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mu Yay, another game of Mu was played! There seems to be hope for this gaming group after all.
