Sadly, I think that this will be the only lunch time Tichu for December (and therefore the rest of the year). I was a little worried when I drew Ed as my partner. After all, he has been notorious for “the luck of the Ed”. But I shouldn’t have worried. The cards were with us today. Although the points were not. It seemed that who ever called Tichu made it, but the other team scored more points. It got so reinforced, in fact, that on Ed’s last Tichu call, he decided to get tricky. He has AAKK and the Phoenix and decides to play them as sequential pairs. Which Adam immediately bombs. Luckily, he leads a low pair which I was able to win with Kings. I lead a low card and Ed plays the Phoenix on top of Jon’s Jack.
