Unfortunately, there were six people present to play a four player game.  The only problem that I noticed was a minor one of not trying to feed point cards to the trick that Dragon takes.  Here is a scenario: your partner goes out first and you are left with one other person.  You know that the Dragon has not been played.  So, on single card tricks, you play a King.  This will force a remaining ace out of your opponent&#8217;s hand.  Or, if your opponent plays the Dragon, it will go to your partner.\n<\/p>\n<table border='1'>\n<caption style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)'>\n<em><br \/>\n07\/15\/2007 The scorecard for a game of Tichu<br \/>\n<br \/>\nGT or T bet <span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
