I do have a question, in full good faith, about Tichu. I understand the worry of orientalization, sure, but is this a problem in this situation? I ask because this game is a huge hit in asian countries, and more often than not countries have changed the art for political reasons than based on race. I understand a fear of racism or fetishism, but the game was (if i recall correctly) designed by a Swiss person who lived in and loved China and its gaming culture. the idea of a love letter to another culture can be tricky, and again, begging for good faith on this, but this is one I don't hear about often or really ever as an issue. I literally only anecdotal evidence, so if I'm wrong, I ain't gonna fight it, but I am curious where that love letter or tribute crosses the border to fetishism.
THAT SAID!!!! If you are looking for a Tichu deck that doesn't look like this, Korea Board Games sells several copies of different colors that are rather pretty. If you can't get KBG where you live, Playte Games is a company also out of Korea who sell their games through ebay internationally, and they sell an EXCELLENT copy of Big Two, a classic card shedding game out of Asia. The game has many ways to play, but most importantly in this case it comes with a spare dog, dragon, mahjong, and phoenix card which....can be used....however you like....
I want to hear your hair growing next time, okay?
Yes! Splendid! 🥳
