Call Tichu, empty your hand first, and win your partnership glory.
Vibe's take
Skillful, social, gloriously risky.
Who it's for
Groups of exactly 4 who enjoy skill-driven card games and want something to master.
Not for you if…
You have fewer or more than 4 players, or dislike trick-taking card games.
A partnership trick-taking game from Asia where you can call Tichu — a bold declaration that you'll play out your hand first — for bonus points and glorious risk. The combination of card passing, special cards, and team communication creates a game that improves with every session. The best trick-taking game for exactly four players.
