User Reviews

User reviews are mixed but skew negative about recent updates. Pros repeatedly mentioned include a solid core Tichu gameplay, challenging AI in newer versions, appealing visuals and customization options, and some fans viewing this as one of the best Tichu implementations. Cons are dominated by stability and UI issues: frequent crashes and freezes, a major UI overhaul many want reverted, limited multiplayer functionality, AI behavior that can feel unfair or buggy, and unclear ranking/help plus data persistence problems (stats loss).

Pros

AI opponents are increasingly challenging and more realistic in newer updates.
Solid, faithful trick-taking gameplay that many players still enjoy.
Great visuals and UI customization options (themes and button placement).
Updates have improved AI and overall performance in some versions (e.g., version 049).
Many fans consider this one of the best versions of Tichu available.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes, including startup crashes and data loss.
Drastic UI/UX overhaul that many want reverted; small text and readability issues on smaller devices.
Multiplayer functionality is broken or unavailable; you can only play against AI.
AI behavior can feel unfair or buggy, with suggestions of cheating or poor partner AI.
Unclear ranking system and insufficient in-game help; concerns about data persistence (e.g., statistics being wiped).

This is a fun game with a lot of strategy. But I can’t beat the single player bots on their default mode. I have like a 16% win rate, and even when I play using the hints I can’t win hands. I’m not docking rating since it’s a good game but am I just bad?? Unlucky??
