Reducing success at tichu to the cards that are dealt is a very naive approach to the game, also a sign that the path at this game is still at the beginning.

That report option is only for the case that a person plays against himself with another account to boost ELO. Having several accounts that don't interfere seems fine. You shouldn't blame the players but the current ELO systems. If you fave two 500 players as a 500 player with a 100 partner, your wi...

Hi all,

about 6 months ago I sent a request to BGA and got the response that I will get an answer as soon they can. Is it impolite to ask again after 180 days about the ticket? What is the usual time the staff of BGA takes to answer?

Thanks for your help in advance.

The Mahjongg is a very powerful card, yet used the wrong way pretty often. The cases where you just go for a random number are way rarer than people believe. With many hands you want to call a specific card. Example: You have 1 22333 66QQQ K A DR. You want to call that hand and the only correct call...

I really appreciate that Tichu is some love and that the interface is getting faster and improved in general. The most important update for me personally would be a clear statement by admins or moderators about the ELO-resets. Right now I have no intention in playing as long as you get randomly flag...

This is amazing.

I can share the report information given to me: https://boardgamearena.com/report?id=112545&player=84821901 I guess cobra_ss got the same. There is no table nr or chat evidence given, just the information that creating multiple accounts to play against each other to boost the ELO is forbidden. I...

Thank you for your efforts, NeanderthalMan. I really appreciate it.

One notice: KU leading with 3 instead of JJJQQ in Round 3 doesn't make much sense to me unless you know phenix at your partners hand. This remains unviewed.

So far no ace got played from the own team. Usually you keep dragon and dogs and can assume your partner to have at least one ace.

The way the tichu got played is like knowing both animals are at the partner. Otherwise you would play QQQJJ and stay with 3 and A.

Can you recommend an analysis tool that shows all four hands? I just played against a team that knows each other and made several moves that make only sense if you know partner's hand. For example as position 2 hitting the first king of the tichu on position 1 with dragon because you "know"...
