Because this is a team game, the final screen could show something like: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/7f/7c/14/7f7c14f364e1094d43604007853c9b1e.jpg But because we all know that may not apply for both players, I could instead imagine a summary of # of bombs played in the game, and how often the Dragon a...

Your post doesn't refute anything. The blind wish premise is, as stated, if there's a bomb, it's twice as likely to be with the opponents. If there's not, that knowledge itself has value—which you overlook—just like the other types of info we recall, infer, and track while playing. The only value I...

Yes, good players avoid 50/50 chance of luck elements. But 67/33 they gladly take in a game that has severe luck influence anyway. Agreed. If you're wishing blind and there is in fact a quad bomb corresponding to a value you don't have, it's twice as likely to be with the opponents than your partne...

Let me understand this topic better. Say I play a few games, manage to get over 300 rating, and become eligible to referee players. Then I lose a game, drop below 300 and with that, I have lost all competence to review a game and recognize that players break their straights or triplets to fill their...

For someone, who is with the precision of a swiss cl...

The elitist, the experienced player, assumes the player who made the mistake is doing it maliciously or some form of weaponised incompetence, when in reality it's just someone learning the game who doesn't know all the intricacies. I bet you've never made a mistake in any game, warrior of hell? The...

This game is extremely difficult to play and not break the code for foul language. x million games have been played, x million players could tell you what a winning strategy entails, x million players could tell you what a losing strategy entails, and to transpose a losing strategy into winning the ...

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. ... This was an excellent post, very much eye opening for me. Your reasoning for wishes are...

Hello fellow players I am the kind of player, who likes to question my partner's moves, when they make no sense to me and are being repeated. It's not the best of habits to have, clearly not a very popular one amongst many players, but Tichu is a team game, so we also have accountability to others, ...

But I am pretty sure that for 20 times your partner hurt you, they hurt your opponnents 40 times. Many of these cases might be invisible for you, because when their straight is crushed, you might never know that this happened. I cannot know the exact number, but I can see how many times it happened...
