Make your own Tichu deck with these simple stencils of the 4 non regular cards (Dragon, Phoenix, Dog & Mah Jong)

This file offers advice on how to teach Tichu to complete newbies.

These tables provide a historic view of outcomes of Tichu games played on BSW where the intermediate scores of all logged games (~650,000 games) were recorded. For each occurring score pair, the historic eventual win rate from that score is computed and presented in the table. There are four tables provided, for four different levels of minimum occurrences of each score pairing. Color coded to make viewing easier. And sheets with the raw data as well. This format is a little tricky to read at first. The row values show the score of the currently winning team. The column values show the score of the currently losing team. But not all possible values of the losing team are explicitly shown. Rather, since the score always adds up to a multiple of 100, the columns only represent the hundreds. But the atcual score is what you can infer. For example, for a score of 835 to 565, the row would be 835, and the column would be 5xx. Thus as you move vertically along a column, you're not only change the winning team's score, but you're also changing the losing team's score. This is also why you can see color banding at every hundred, particularly on the right side. I will create a forum to discuss once this is approved.

2.5"x3.5" rules refresher "Cheat Sheet" This is a card-sized (standard MtG CCG) "cheat sheet" with the key rules for the game. This card is meant for people familiar with the game but wants a quick refresher, especially about picky details that are easy to forget. Feel free to comment/critique for me to improve them. To be honest, the Matthew Fredrick player aid works pretty good scaled down to 2.5"x3.5"...

Full color player aid that fits in the AbacusSpiele box, one-sided, 4-up. Great for new players. Based on Matthew Frederick's aid, with scoring, passing conventions, etc. Let me know if the resolution is not good. I did a PDF from Photoshop. Version 2009-10: Completely redrawn, reversed special card order to be order taught, added X phoenix on bombs, updated wording, general improvement.

Player aid in Dutch

Spreadsheet showing the historical rate of receiving 0, 1, 2 or 3 of each card (2-A) in the pass, given how many you were dealt. Mined from all bsw games. Unlike last spreadsheet, it's just a static table, so should be completely self-explanatory.

What can we learn from 9 million real hands of Tichu? It turns out quite a lot. This file provides a pivot table which gives a view into 800 combinations of starting 8 cards and tells you how often people call grand with each combination, and how often they succeed. Discussed here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3213030. Please keep the discussion there. But I should mention, as a quick instruction guide, that to use the pivot table, you simply click the plus/minus buttons to construct the starting hand you're interested in. You can drill down as little or as much as you want. If you don't drill down all the way to specify every field in the pivot, the fields not specified are simply rolled up (still independent). You can also reorder or take fields out of the pivot (or add dog or mahjong back in the pivot, since it's out by default after I realized it makes very little difference). The order of the fields is the order the boxes were checked on the right. So, for example, you can uncheck all the boxes (except the bottom 4, see below), and re-add the fields you care about, in the order you care about. An important note: NEVER uncheck any of the four last fields. They (and their order) are required to make the Win% and Call% columns work. If you ever accidentally uncheck any of those, simply close (without saving) and reopen.. History: 1.1: Added 2 new fields. 1: Number of queens. 2: Whether partner passed their highest card. Both are off by default. See above for how to add.

File contains variant rules to be able to play Tichu in a 2 or 3 hand format. It is assumed that you have good knowledge of the play mechanics before playing these variants. The 2-handed set play is highly recommended for couples due to its quick handed competitive play.

Two player variant of Tichu or perhaps this is the game Tichu is derived from. 2 is dragon. No phoenix. 1 card is based on lowest card then rank. No dog obviously. Only differences are triple straights and bombs you throw one extra card and scoring is different. Otherwise almost exactly the same as Tichu.

A compact yet thorough way of keeping track of Tichu and Grand Tichu calls by player, success or failure, 1-2 wins, and scores by round. A double-sided scoring sheet set up to record six fifteen-round games.
