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 linked over Bluetooth or Game Center. * Full support for Game Center! including achievements, leaderboards, and world-wide multiplayer! * Extensive tutorial and in-game documentation will teach you how to play and have you playing like a champ in no time. * Shake-A-Hint™ feature helps you play while you learn. * Music and sound effects. * Keep track of up to 4 games at once. * Keep track of your game's progress with a fully automated score sheet. * Track your statistics over multiple game sessions. * Play in English or German. * Optimized high resolution images for iPhone 4 and iPad. (It also looks fantastic on older iPhones and iPod touch.) Follow the developer on Twitter @sblanding.

Reviews of Tichu

  • Simple on the surface, but deep in strategy

    If poker, rummy, and whist has a baby, tichu would be it. This game scratches that itch or trick taking enthusiast and people who love games like poker and rummy. The sets that you can lead with are similar to poker such as a full house, a straight, or a straight flush, etc. it has a trick taking feel, but you’re trying to shed your hand like you would in rummy. Definitely recommend this game if you enjoy any of those games
  • Great game, tips favor in computer opponents

    There’s no way cards are distributed fairly. I kept mental track of how many times opponents got the dragon and it was higher than me and my computer partner. They play at a higher skill level than your partner as well, even if you turn up your partners playing methods.

    If you’re looking to REALLY build up your skill and think through things, it’s worth it if you want to get better. But if you’re looking to causally play I’d pass on this.
  • Could improve

    I love playing Tichu, however….sometimes, I have to delete and reopen the app because it will close down any time that I try to open it. I also notice that some of the opponents plays don’t make sense, such as having a card to play and not doing it.
    For the money, this is a fun diversion:)
