An Entity of Type: activity, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Haggis is a shedding card game similar to Tichu, , and other East Asian climbing games.

The evenly distributed, face card "bombs" are a notable innovation for the genre, helping even out hand strength enough to make two-person play workable, and enhancing the strategic element of the game.

Haggis has received praise for being the first to successfully create a climbing, trick-taking game, designed from the start for two to three players, where most previous games required four players or more.
