How to Play - Tichu

[@Bazmondofull]

Great rules explanation and the clearest one so far. Thank you

[@Johnga91]

First clear explanation of the game(I didn't know any other trick taking games before this one). Thanks!

[@jerkasmo]

The version we played as kids used a standard deck of cards and also had "bombs." Any quad (e.g. 4 Jacks) makes a bomb and can be played to take over a trick. For example, if you play a fullhouse I can play a bomb that beats the full house. To beat a bomb you have to play a bomb of a higher card value, or a larger bomb consisting of a 5 cards, 6 cards...etc and this can happen when playing with 2 decks of cards. Explosions galore... may the odds ever be in your favor.

[@jasonpollack8591]

As point of clarification: If you use a bomb to win a trick that has the dragon, the trick does not get passed to your opponent.

[@haehlenlinus]

That's right! She forgot to say this important extra rule. I won a few games by using this rule.

[@justinrrizzo]

Great job explaining this.

Can you have a bomb with majon and then 2,3,4,5 of the same colour?

[@Alyssa684]

No, bomb can not use any special cards

[@whitesanity4965]

Let's say majong wishes for an ace and I have all 4 aces am I forced to drop them all as a bomb or I can drop just one and hold the remaining 3?

[@katos7811]

You are forced to play them as a bomb.

[@shinchan8429]

no? i think u just need to play one!

[@Taskar-ph2bl]

You can play one ace when it is your turn , or you can play 4 aces if u want. But , if u have KKKK and someone wishes K , if the previous player played Ace(i mean something higher than the wish) you have to play 4 K as a bomb. If the previous player played for example J , you will have two choices , play KKKK as a bomb or just play on K as a single card , hope i helped

[@FalconW3]

Question: when playing with single pairs e.x. 2 eights are played. Can the next player also play 2 eights or does it have to be a higher value?

[@Alyssa684]

Good question, it has to be higher! Same with straights/runs

[@HainishMentat]

I didn't catch how dealer is picked each round....

[@Muth500]

The winner of the round shuffles the deck.
