Tichu is a multi-genre card game; primarily a shedding game that includes elements of Bridge, Daihinmin, and Poker played between two teams of two players each. Teams work to accumulate points; the first team to reach a predetermined score (usually 1,000 points) is the winner. Tichu is the trade name for what appears to be a variant of Choi Dai Di (Cantonese) or Da Lao Er (Mandarin), meaning "big two", combined with Zheng Fen ("Competing for Points"). It is also marketed asTai-Panin Dutch.
The game is played with a deck of 56 cards, consisting of a 52-card deck of four suits (Jade, Sword, Pagoda, Star) plus four special cards (Mah Jong, Dog, Phoenix, Dragon). A standard 52-card deck with 4 jokers (marked to indicate the special cards) can also be used.
Redesign
Ribbon was the base of my thinking for the new design.
Instead of the classic white "color" of the most decks I decided to invert it and use black.

Looking at the opponent's hand you'll see a white ribbon and on your hands a multi colored ribbon.
I chose the ribbon concept because in this game cards are being combined - connected in many ways.
