Tichu: A Thrilling Card Game Combining Bridge, Daihinmin, and Poker Elements

Tichu is a captivating card game played by two teams of two, with partners sitting opposite each other. Teams collaborate to score points and achieve victory. The game unfolds over multiple hands, with the first team to reach a predetermined point total declared the winner.

The Tichu deck comprises 56 cards across four suits: Jade, Swords, Pagodas, and Stars. Each suit contains cards ranked 2 through 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. Four special cards add a strategic layer: the Dragon, Phoenix, Hound, and Mah Jong.

Each player receives eight initial cards and has the option to call "Grand Tichu," a 200-point wager that they will be the first to empty their hand. After this declaration period, six more cards are dealt, and the "Grand Tichu" option closes. Players can also call "Tichu" (a 100-point wager for being the first to discard their hand) at any point before playing their first card. Key differences between Grand Tichu and Tichu include timing, cards seen, and point values.

Following the initial deal (14 cards per player), a card exchange occurs. Each player secretly passes one card to each opponent and one to their partner, receiving three cards in return.

The player holding the Mah Jong card initiates the first trick. They play a valid combination, and subsequent players can either pass or play a higher-ranking combination (exceptions exist for "Bombs," which will be explained later). Winning a trick requires a higher-value combination; a single card is beaten by a higher-value single card, a sequence of pairs by a higher sequence of pairs, and so on. The player with the highest combination takes the trick and leads the next. A player who discards all their cards has "gone out." The round concludes when two teammates have gone out. If only one player remains with cards, they incur a penalty, transferring their hand to the opponents' collected tricks and receiving the opponent's collected tricks in return.

The game concludes when a team accumulates or surpasses the predetermined point target.
