Tichu is a partnership card game designed by the folks at the Swiss gamecompany Fata Morgana. Decks areproduced by both Fata Morgana and Abacus Spiele and differ mainly in the colorof the card backs. The Abacus Spiel box also contains a second deck of cardsbut since this doesn't include the four special cards, it is not helpful forplay of the basic game.
The deck is a 56 card deck which is basically just like a regular 52 carddeck plus 4 special cards (Dragon, Phoenix, Dog and 1/Sparrow/Mah Jong). Thesuits are also changed to Jade (Green), Sword (Black), Pagoda (Blue) and Star (Red).
The game is a partnership game where each player's primary objective is to getrid of all of his cards and 'tricks' are played in a 'climbing' style similarto that used in Zheng Shangyou, Zheng Fen, Big Two, The GreatDalmutti, Frank's Zoo and Asshole.
This game has become extremely popular with my group and others and I highlyrecommend you give it a try if you are interested in partnership card games.It is quite different from any others I have played. To quote StuartDaggar's review in Counter Magazine, 'Tichu is much more of a heavyweight game than Zoff im Zoo, Karriere Pokerand so on. They are all either party games or end of evening fillers. This isthe sort of game that will keep card players happy for a couple of hours ormore. There is much more to the tactics and hand management than there is inthe simpler games and the scope for partnership cooperation is real.'

It is intended that this be printed on a full-sheet of label paper, cut out, and then attached to the front and back of extra cards you have. Each print makes two player aid cards. The Abacus Spiele deck comes with a version of this in German.

It really is addictive. And so simple: Try to get rid of your cards as soon as possible. At first this game reminds of 'Presidents' or 'The Great Dalmuti' only that Tichu offers many more possibilites than the light copies.
Two teams of two players each compete. The game consists of 56 cards in four colours, 2-As and 4 special cards. At first one is allowed to get rid of one card to another player, but has to take one in return. The player who has the 'one' (special card) starts. The other players always have to match the card played with a higher one of the same type, or they can pass the game on. The types are: eg. single cards, pairs, straight or full house. If a team manages to finish position one and two it receives 200 points. All other games amount to 100 points max. Further a player can raise the bet by another 100 points by declaring a tichu. This means: he claims from the start before the opening card is played that he will finish first.
Tichu is a team game. One can only score big points when one understands ones partner. Usually Tichu is played up to 1000 points. The single games are quick. WARNING: This game is addictive, once you start you won't stop! Told you so.
