Welcome to my blog. Here you'll find mutterings and musings on whatever happens to tickle my fancy, but mostly relating to board games and card games. Among other things, I run an on-line game store (http://housefullofgames.com) and I subscribe to various news feeds in order to keep abreast of my favorite topic. If I see something that urges me to comment (or just share) then it'll probably find its way here.
Tichu for the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch has just been submitted to the App Store. Assuming the approval process goes smoothly, it should be available for purchase in the next few days.

What's the initial price point?
$2.99, just like Mü.
Good news.
But how long does it usually take to gain approval?
It can vary widely based on how busy the reviewers are. From what I can tell, the process is currently taking about a week.
Hi, Steve. Any problem or issue with the approval process? More than a week since Tichu was submited and not in store yet... Eagerly waiting for it.
No problems. It's just slow these days. We just have to be patient.
It's now "in review" so it shouldn't be too much longer now.
And it's now live. If it's not in your iTunes yet, give it a few hours.
Now in the Spanish AppStore! Got it! It looks cool! Congrats, Steve, excellent work, as usual.
So excited - I bought it as soon as I learned it was available. I have found one potential bug, though -- I couldn't play a five card straight 10-J-Q-K-A using a phoenix for the 10. Other than that, I've been very impressed with the game. I love the ability to set the AI to different levels, and the ability to set preference of which way to pass even cards!
Yes, that bug has already been reported. Not sure how that one slipped by the beta testers. ;)
The actual bug is that the UI's hand validation code doesn't allow a human to play an Ace-high straight with a low Phoenix. It'll let you fill a gap in an Ace-high straight. It'll let you play a King-high straight with a low Phoenix. But if it's a contiguous straight with an Ace high, you can't include the Phoenix.
Anyway, found and fixed. The update is already on its way.
