Your group plays Kontra. P1, the Forehand, plays the Call, calls the King of Hearts and announces the Pagat Ultimo. You are P4, and you hold the Skus and the XXI.

Your hand












You kontra only an item you can be sure must fail. Do you say Kontra on the Pagat Ultimo?
Answer
No Kontra. Your Skus and your XXI beat the Pagat only if one of them is still in your hand at the last trick, and you hold just three Taroks. Three Tarok leads before the last trick take all three from you, and P1’s side can lead Taroks. Nothing proves that the Pagat Ultimo fails.
Rule: A player who does not believe a contract or an announced bonus will succeed says Kontra, and it pays double (×2).
