The four sacred cards
Every legend has its heroes.
Tichu's four special cards bend the rules in elegant, devastating ways. We rebuilt them from scratch — hand-painted, lovingly detailed, faithful to the spirit of the original.
The Dog
Worth nothing in points. Worth everything in tempo: hand the lead straight to your partner.
The Phoenix
The shapeshifter. Becomes any single card you need — at the cost of −25 points if it stays in your hand.
The Dragon
The highest single in the deck and worth +25 — but the trick must be given to an opponent.
Two ways to play
Pick your table.
Train against three smart bots whenever you have a quiet moment. Or spin up a private online room and pull your usual crew in from anywhere in the world.
Play vs AI
Three difficulty levels — from beginner-friendly to tournament-grade opponents that count cards, probe lengths, and bomb your Tichu calls.

A deck worth holding.
Tichu Master isn’t a generic card-game template with a re-skin. Every screen, animation, and rule was hand-tuned to honour the game we love — the bombs, the wishes, the dragon trick, the agonising Grand Tichu call.

The fine print, made beautiful
Every rule. Every card. Every bomb.
True to the original
Mahjong, Dog, Phoenix and Dragon all play exactly as you'd expect. Bombs, straight-flush bombs, Grand Tichu calls — nothing left out, nothing watered down.
Smart bots, three difficulties
From beginners learning the rules to tournament-grade opponents that count cards, anti-Tichu bomb, and read your wish like a book.
Private online rooms
Spin up a 6-character code, share it with your usual four, and start a hand — no accounts, no friend graphs to manage.
ELO-ranked online play
When all four seats are real players, your rating moves. Double victories swing harder. Daily caps protect you from a single rough night.
Statistics that mean something
Tichus called. Grand Tichus won. Bombs played. Double victories. Win rate. Game history with full round-by-round scoring.
Game history, round by round
Every game is saved with a full score-sheet — Tichus called, bombs played, who took which trick — so you can argue about that hand for months.
English & Bärndütsch
Full Swiss-German localisation alongside English — because Tichu has always had a special home in Switzerland.
Solo play works offline
Bots, statistics, history, rules and language switching all work with zero connection. Online rooms are the only feature that needs the internet.
No ads. No accounts. No tracking.
Free to play means free to play. We don't sell your data, we don't show ads, and we don't ask you to sign up just to deal a hand.
