Great app with fantastic AI.. almost too good. It's like playing against 3 complete experts which means you'll get your butt kicked for a while. But I pushed through, and have incredibly improved. I love this app, thank you so much for making it when I could find nothing.

Against the saying that you cannot explain the rules of Tichu, comes the built-in instruction of the game, which deeply and clearly explains all game rules and you also get a tactic guide! However, the best way to get a hold of the game is to play so get your copy and declare your first TICHU.

Love it!
A great implementation of a game "that cannot be explained"!
Given that it's the only Tichu game out there, it's a pretty good Tichu game. I'm sure it'd be really fun if you have friends who would buy the same app and play it with you, but playing with the AI is almost an insane proposition. It is absolutely brutal. Based on my experience, Prime, the AI to your left, gets all of the good cards no matter what the deal is. No matter what you can play, he'll more than likely have a bomb or both the Dragon and Phoenix because why not. Quintus, your eternal partner, is dumb as hell and can't seem to manage anything other than ill-timed plays. Granted, this is all my perception - it's more than likely that the deals are fair and I'm as bad a partner as Quintus is. I don't know. Either way, if you enjoy Tichu and don't mind getting owned a lot, it's a pretty straight-forward, no-nonsense version of the game. It's a great way to practice and I'm going to just go out on a limb and say that if you can regularly beat the AI, you're going to own an...
Really decent implementation and intuitive interface. Also, surprisingly, the bots are good to play against. Now if it had a Linux port, it'd be perfect ;)
This by far is the best version of Tichu out there! The game itself is great and the developer is active fixing any bugs and implementing changes to increase play-ability. It is a game that is hard to explain but this game has captured it's essence and is so fun! Highly recommend it and if your on the fence give it a go, the more the merrier!
I seldom review games, but this one deserves a warning. The AI in this version of Tichu is blatantly unfair. Opponents far too often have bombs conveniently ready whenever you declare Tichu, while your so-called "partner" plays like they’re actively sabotaging you—ignoring obvious setups, failing to support your plays, and making bafflingly bad decisions. The result is a frustrating, rigged experience that feels nothing like real Tichu. The UI is clunky, the card distribution feels suspiciously unnatural, and the game lacks the polish and strategic depth that make Tichu great. If you're looking for a digital version, the iOS version is vastly superior. This one? Not worth your time.
Very well made. Only thing is it doesnt seem to stop properly on steam when you exit the program. Please fix this and game will be perfect.
Great implementation of Tichu! Smooth gameplay & competitive bots. Great support, I had a visual issue and developers were very responsive in finding the solution on my laptop.
great game
