It is an utter piece of crap.  Horrible colors, horrible low light handling, horrible resolution (1.9 Megapixels).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI had an amusing pass.  I had a somewhat possible Tichu hand, so I passed John a 2.  I received on the pass the Dog, the Mahjong, and a 3.  Sigh.  At least my partner made the Tichu.  But it seemed that he ignored the implied strength of my pass.  Not only that, but he told the group that I passed a two to him during the play!\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor my one Tichu call, I had AAKQJ098765431.  I played the King-high straight.  Everyone passed.  I then played the Mahjong and wished for an Ace &#8212; just because.  And I passed on the Traci&#8217;s Ace.   Fortunately, Traci eventually played a pair. Otherwise, I would have to hope that a lot of singles would be played.  Because the Dragon or Phoenix would cover my first Ace on a single.\n<\/p>\n<table border='1'>\n<caption style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)'>\n<em><br \/>\n11\/25\/2007 The scorecard for a game of Tichu<br \/>\n<br \/>\nGT or T bet <span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
