Shall I Teach You About Tichu?

Legend has it that over 642 million Chinese play Tichu nearly every day! I don't know about that. All I know is that Tichu might very well be the world's best card game.

Tichu is a partnership game for four players where partners battle to be the first to play all of their cards and score points. Each hand is filled with strategy and risk. Will you be the first player to play all of your cards? Perhaps you'd like to make a little wager on that? Are you willing to risk 100 points? How about 200?

Tichu has long been the favorite card game of all time on BoardGameGeek. Find out why! I promise that you won't regret it!

Tichu boasts the following great features:

* Fully licensed and authorized by designer Urs Hostettler and publisher Fata Morgana Spiele.
* Computer controlled opponents boast a challenging and lifelike Artificial Intelligence that is configurable in numerous ways.
* Up to 4 humans can play linked over Bluetooth or Game Center.
* Full support for Game Center! including achievements, leaderboards, and world-wide multiplayer!
* Extensive tutorial and in-game documentation will teach you how to play and have you playing like a champ in no time.
* Shake-A-Hint™ feature helps you play while you learn.
* Music and sound effects.
* Keep track of up to 4 games at once.
* Keep track of your game's progress with a fully automated score sheet.
* Track your statistics over multiple game sessions.
* Play in English or German.
* Optimized high resolution images for iPhone 4 and iPad.
(It also looks fantastic on older iPhones and iPod touch.)

Very fun game! But...

...too bad it’s too hard to find an online opponent. Playing versus the AI is ok but id rather play an actual human.

Crashes

Don’t pay for these terrible app, it crashes as soon as the guidance is over. It hasn’t been updated for 7 years!

Virtual players very erratic !

Virtual players seemed to be programmed to sabotage the game sometimes. They sometimes make Tichu bids that have absolutely no chance of being made . Your virtual partner will sometimes beat the card you have played even though they don’t have enough good cards of their own to go out on their bid. Virtual players will try to win a minor trick at all costs , divulging themselves of winning cards. They always use four aces as a bomb even though most of the time using the four aces individually is the most successful play.
The graphics and mechanics of the play are excellent, however.
