Alert: Experimental Replay No Longer Works
Posted: 27 February 2026, 06:12
Unlike normal replay, experimental replay makes it possible for a person reviewing a finished Tichu game to easily see simultaneously
* all cards in every player’s hand during the grand Tichu calling phase
* all cards in every player’s hand before the card exchange phase
* all card exchanges from every player while seeing the hands of all players
* all cards in every player’s hand after the card exchange phase but before the play phase
* every card in every player’s hand at any point during the small Tichu calling phase
* all cards in every player’s hand at any point during the play phase
* all card plays at any point in the game from the perspective where every card in every player’s hand is face up instead of hidden
* the scores of both teams every round from start to finish
* points earned or lost after every trick is taken
According to dashwood314, notable features of experimental replay are:
- Very fast stepping through an entire Tichu game
- All four hands and passing of cards visible throughout the replay
- Ability to go backwards (and forwards) to any part of a finished Tichu game
- Ability to jump to next/previous round of a finished Tichu game
- Keyboard shortcuts for making the experience of replaying a Tichu game really fast
- Score board overview for both teams
- Red highlighting, if a passed card completes a bomb
