Tichu is the evolution of a traditional card game that the Swiss author Urs Hostettler met on one of his travels. The game quickly began its triumphal march through all German-speaking regions of Europe. In the meantime it has found worldwide distribution. In this partner game, players are the first to try to get rid of their cards. It takes a little empathy. If both players of a team manage to get rid of their cards before even one player of the other team succeeds, the tricks are not counted, but the team automatically receives 200 points. Each round, for example, raises the question of whether a team should collect tricks with high points or whether it feels so strong that it aims for a double victory with the significantly higher "points lump sum". Usually the game continues until a team has reached 1000 points.
