Tichu (7 June 2010)

Anna and Andrew invited us for a game or two of Tichu.

Game 1
Andrew identified my tendency to avoid playing in the early rounds while I considered calling Tichu. But several times in the excitement of playing my first card and calling Tichu, I forgot the important bit -- calling Tichu!
