Luckily, Mike was not on my team and wished a bomb out of Adam’s hand which caused him not to call Tichu. I am hoping that he will grow out of the random wish phase.

Our team was not getting many points at all from the cards. After five hands, we only had 95 of the 500 points (19%). And after nine hands, we had 200 of the 900 points (22%). What saved us was that we were able to set both Adam and Mike’s Tichu calls which caused them to break even in Tichu points.

For Mike’s desperation Grand Tichu call, he had 23468PDX. Ed had three Aces and I had one. Which was sad given the fact that he also had the MahJong and couldn’t pass it to me (since I would wish for an Ace out of Ed’s hand). And even with all of the Aces, Mike still went out! Flawed!!
