About the Game

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 from any supported device in any part of the world.

  • Data automatically backed up to the cloud and synced to any device that runs the game!

  • Extensive tutorial and in-game documentation will teach you how to play and have you playing like a champ in no time.

  • Hint feature helps you play while you learn.
