It's a partnership game where you are trying to get rid of all of your cards, and get to 1000 points.Īs I said, you could just play this game with a standard deck of cards.
You can play the game with 3-6 players, but I'm only going to talk about the four player version, called Tichu Nanjing. The game was designed in 1991 by Urs Hostettler. There is a special deck for it, but you really could just use a standard deck of cards to play Tichu. It does have its origin in several different Chinese games, but this iteration was designed by a Swiss guy.
