Grand Seigneur is not a partnership game, but rather a wrangle between individualists in a hierarchical system. There is no special reward for a double victory, but a triple victory (one team gets rid of all its cards while all three opponents still hold cards) scores 300 points.

In the scoring, the last loses not only his remaining cards but also all his tricks to the opposition the fifth (the second to last to go out) gives his tricks to the winner of the round. The hound transfers the right to lead to its holder's choice of partner. Grand tichu must be announced before the seventh card is taken.Įach player pushes only two cards, to his own partners and gets one card back from each of them. The rules of the game are the same as for the four handed version, except that: We thank Mr Zhu, an exceptional tour guide, for this variant. Tientsin (Tianjin) tichu is played six handed with two teams of three seated alternating around the table. We do not recommend a game to 1000 points, as the dummy player is likely to win such a game. The game ends after a certain number of hands (divisible by three). The shuffle (and partnership with the dummy) passes to the left after each hand. Each player in a partnership receives the same number of points that the team would receive if it were a four player game.

Scores are kept individually, even for the dummy. The dummy does not have to fullfill any wish. The dealer may declare Small Tichu on behalf of the dummy before he plays the first card from the dummy. The shuffler plays on the dummy's behalf. Pushing cards is the same as in a four player game, except that players only push cards to their oponents (two cards instead of three are pushed).Īfter cards are pushed, place the dummy face up on the table. The shuffler may not declare Grand Tichu for either himself or the dummy.īefore any cards are pushed, the dealer may look at both his hand and the dummy's. Shuffle and take cards as you would for a four player game.
