The game is supposed to be played with 4 players. 3 and 6 is also possible but not recommended. Each player is sitting between the other team's two players. The players decide what score must be reached to win the game (usually 1000). A game is played in a succession of rounds.

Everybody draws their cards, one by one. Once you get 9 cards in your hand you can call a "Great Tichu". Once you got the 14 cards in your hand, and until you played any, you can call for a "Tichu".

These two calls means that you believe you'll get rid of all your cards first. If you succeed, you get 100 points for a Tichu, 200 for a great one. If you don't, these become negative points (-100/-200).

Before anybody starts to play, you have to give away 3 cards of your own deck : one for your partner, one for each of your opponents. Once you're done you can add the three cards you received fro mthem into your deck.

āœ” the bird šŸ„ : the only card with a value of 1 (aces are above kings). The one holding it opens the game (it's not mandatory to play the bird). When you play it, you can request players to play a certain card, and the first player who can in the current combination must obey and play it.

āœ” the dog šŸ• : can only be played when you open a trick. It immediately gives the lead to your partner who becomes the one opening.

āœ” the dragon šŸ‰ : strongest simple card in the game, and beats any other one. It grants 25 points, but when you win a trick with this card, the whole trick has to be given to one of your opponent, you'll understand later why.

āœ” the phoenix šŸ¦: grants you -25 points but can be played to replace any classic card in any combination (but a bomb šŸ’£, we'll see that soon), or it can be played as a simple card and is always stronger of 0.5 points than the card previously played (but the dragon).

The first player (owning the bird šŸ„) opens the first trick of the round and decides of the combination by playing : āœ” a single card āœ” a pair āœ” three of a kind āœ” full house (eg: 6,6,6,k,k) āœ” a straight of following pairs (eg: 5,5,6,6,7,7...) āœ” a suite of at least 5 consecutive cards (bird,2,3,4,5...)

In order to win a round, one must play the highest set of the exact same combination. For instance, to win against a [2,3,4,5,6,7] one must play at least a [3,4,5,6,7,8] too bad if he had a 9. He either breaks his longer suite or pass in order to attempt playing it later. Round goes till nobody can/want to play higher
