Tichu (Italian Edition) (2014)
Publisher: Uplay.it
Tichu is a classic card game that is played between two teams of two players each. It's primarily a shedding game (where the goal is to discard all the cards in your hand), and also blends elements from Bridge, Daihinmin, and Poker. The game consists of 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).
I was tasked with redesigning the art for the Italian edition, while keeping with the original Chinese aesthetic.
The special card illustrations; Dog, Phoenix, Dragon, and Mahjong.
Each suit has a different theme; Star is authority/royalty with cherry blossoms, Pagoda is art/culture with white azaleas, Jade is wealth/economy with bamboo, Sword is war/combat with pine.
