\n\"Game<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

\nThree of us in the game group are Tichu fanatics. So we usually have to force one other person to play with us. John has been that victim often enough. And apparently it has converted him enough to want to hold a Tichu meetup<\/a>! He planned on spreading the word to new people.\n<\/p>\n

\n\"Game<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

\nApparently, mocking does not constitute spreading the word. I wonder who he is talking about here…\n<\/p>\n

\nTichu<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nMy first game was with Ed, Susan, and Curt. Susan constantly shies away from Tichu games. So today was an excuse to get back on the horse for her. And boy did she start off strong. Four Tichu calls in a row! Ed had the perfect hand to both stop her once and over-Tichu. I was a little worried at the end. The opposing team caught up thanks to Ed’s Tichu calls. But the Tichu and one\/two was enough for a knockout punch.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\nTichu<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nEd and Susan, being the non-Tichu players that they were, went off to play Yspahan. This left us with two tables. I joined Adam, Betty, and Lauren. Betty and Lauren were both really new to the game. So this game was a basic, learn how the game works, kinda game. Lauren was my partner and unfortunately, she did not realize that this is a partnership game. If you cannot, or are unlikely to, call Tichu, then you should pass your best card to your partner in order to help that person call Tichu. So, for the most of the game, I received the third worst card from Lauren’s hand in the pass.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
