So, we talked Mr Chuang (the man who taught us the game) into helping us.
If we believed that, there would be no rules with this game. Some say tichu cannot be explained but must be experienced. The 10 ranks between the 9 and the jack, as in most card games.įour extra cards expand the deck to 56 cards: the Dragon, the Phoenix, the Hound, and the Hemp-Sparrow (or Mah Jong).
The ace is the highest in each suit and the 2 is the lowest.
