这是一个规则介于桥牌及大老二的游戏，但内容与牌卡皆相异，玩家亦可以合作的方式，可交换牌或互惠以联合获得分数。内有富变化的特殊角色牌，带领游戏的出神入化及巨变，您一定要亲自试试才知道啊！

游戏进行时由起始玩家打出牌组，之后的玩家须以相同牌组方式出牌，若玩家无牌可打，可选择「PASS」。当场上其他所有玩家皆喊出「PASS」，最后出牌的玩家可取得桌面中央已打出的所有卡牌，而游戏结束时玩家们分别根据所获得的卡牌堆计算分数。进行若干回合后，当其中一组阵营获得1000分以上游戏结束，该阵营的玩家皆为游戏赢家。

这个游戏简单又耐玩，深受玩家的喜爱与推荐，两副牌一起使用，可增加游戏人数到10人。

Tichu is a partnership climbing card game, and the object of play is to rid yourself of your hand, preferably while scoring points in the process.

The deck is a standard 52-card pack with four special cards added: dog, phoenix, dragon and Mah Jong (1). When it's your turn, you may either beat the current top card combination — single card, pair of cards, sequence of pairs, full house, etc. — or pass. If play passes all the way back to the player who laid the top cards, he wins the trick, clears the cards, and can lead the next one. The card led determines the only combination of cards that can be played on that trick, so if a single card is led, then only single cards are played; if a straight of seven cards is led, then only straights of seven cards can be played, etc.

The last player out in a round gives all the cards he won to the player who exited first, and the last player's unplayed cards are handed to the opposite team. Fives, tens and Kings are worth 5, 10 and 10 points, with each hand worth one hundred points without bonuses — but the bonuses are what drive the game. At the start of a round, each player can call "Tichu" prior to her playing any card. This indicates that she thinks that she can empty her hand first this round; if she does so, her team scores 100 points, and if not, it loses 100 points. Cards are dealt at the start of a round in a group of eight and a group of six; a player can call "Grand Tichu" after looking at only her first eight cards for a ±200 point bonus. If both players on a team exit a round prior to either player on the opposite team, then no points are scored for cards and the winning team earns 200 points (with Tichu/Grand Tichu bonuses and penalties being applied as normal).

The first team to 1,000 points wins.
