Mike had been wanting to play this.  So we accommodated him.  I was the third player to start.  My first pick was okay and my second pick was not good at all.  I had an 11 and a 12 among the numbers that I was sitting on.  Which is not a good start.  But I was lucky.  We rolled both 11 and 12 a number of times!  You gotta love the dice sometimes.  This was able to place me in the running during the mid-game.  However, the dice eventually turned back to their expected distribution.  Sigh.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEd apparently was hating this game.  Enough to leave.  Fortunately, Marty had arrived and was more than willing to take his place over.  In a couple of turns, he had doubled his score.  And the game ended a half an hour later with Mike finally claiming enough victory points for a win.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/215\">Tichu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nWe ended with a game of Tichu.\n<\/p>\n<table border='1'>\n<caption style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
