I so wasn’t expecting that intro 😅. In saying that, I would love to see more Tichu. Bought it secondhand and have been reading the rules myself. Crazy confusing.
Trick-taking card games - have you tried the following: Lexio (tiles, not cards), Nyet! (out of print and expensive; Mu and a lot more includes Nyet! and should be cheaper); Gang of Four (reprint due out soon); and Haggis (I believe it's OOP, but can be played with a regular deck of cards, if memory serves me correctly). I'd love to hear your comments on these games. Loving this review.
