Last week I made a huge mistake trying to set up a one-two when my partner called Tichu. I played a couple of high combos that went around and then a huge straight saving one card for myself. I figured I'd just pass until my partner went out. Oops! I'd have to lead (and you can't pass on a lead). I grabbed a card off then end of my straight and put it back into my hand.
"Whoa! You can't do that. Not after showing your card to your partner." The opponent on my right made me put my card back on the table. All she'd have to do is pass and we'd have a -100 for my going out first instead of my partner.
Not realizing that, she played a higher straight that exactly covered mine. Whew! My partner made his Tichu and her partner said it was very sporting of her to play a straight covering my mistake.
Well, we still barely lost the game but had fun playing. I still love Tichu.
