Re: Dogs: Keep It Within The Team Or Give It To Opposition

People often give dogs away to the opposing team if their hand is going to be K or less during the card exchange… The risks in doing this: 1) Opponents holding DRPHAAAA in their hands use dogs to score 200, 300, and/or 400 points. 2) One person in the opposing team uses dogs to save their partner wh...

Re: New experimental replay mode

Thank you. Experimental replay makes it extremely easy to evaluate passes. Plus with perfect information about every person’s hand, I can finally evaluate different passing conventions. (I gave my partner PH in the game…What might happen if I keep solo Dragon/PH/A and give my partner a K instead?) A...

Dogs: Keep It Within The Team Or Give It To Opposition?

Even strong players disagree on when to keep dogs and when to give it away to the opposing team. I thought I’d share this conversational exchange. Me: According to (anonymous really strong player #1), “The dog is a really complex yet important card, it’s also important to give it to the opponents to...

IMO, at the very least, rules need to be changed that you can't steal pearls or gold pieces. Page 8 of the rules: “Take 1 Gem or Pearl token from your opponent.

Suggestion - Implement a log viewer for games like Tichu

A log viewer is an external program that visualizes the gameplay and makes you read it like a logfile/storybook with all cards visible Example: https://www.online-doppelkopf.com/olmiview/75.631.857 By pressing a button, you go to the next card (or set of cards) Replay with all cards visible is heavi...

Re: Backpacks for boardgames

I’ve played lots of board games in person and go to a lot of boardgame meetups. Try this one: https://www.allplay.com/board-game-bags/ I see a couple of people in person using these when carrying games. On Amazon, I’ve done a search for and bought rolling duffle bags. Instead of carrying games, “rol...

Re: Cooperative with 3 pl end prematurely. Guard reveal in suspect mo

It’s different from the English version of the rules. See page 4. https://cdn.1j1ju.com/medias/e5/6a/33-room-25-rulebook.pdf 0/1 guards is in a game with 4 players. 1/2 guards is in a game with 5 players. 2 guards will definitely be in a game with 6 players. “4 players: Shuffle 4 Prisoner tiles and ...
