Our take on Tichu
The page foregrounds tactics, guides, and configurable bots, but the central structure remains fixed: four seats, two teams, and a race to 1000 points. This is a focused adaptation of one card game rather than a broad collection of card modes.
What is Tichu?
Tichu is a four-player card game played by two teams, with partners seated opposite each other.
Players try to discard their hands and earn points through card combinations, special cards, bombs, scoring rules, team bonuses, and declared TICHU bets. A match ends when a team reaches 1000 points. Each seat can be occupied by a human or a bot, and online play, text chat, and voice chat are available. Bot behavior can be adjusted. Learning tools include open-card play, preset deals, and replays that can resume from a chosen point with either humans or bots on a selected side. The game also includes built-in rules and a tactics guide.
