Your group plays Kontra and the capture bonuses. P1, the Forehand, plays the Call, calls the King of Diamonds and announces the Moon capture. You are P3.

You kontra only an item you can be sure must fail. Do you say Kontra on the Moon capture?
Answer
Kontra. The Moon capture needs P1’s side to win the trick that holds your XXI. Only the Skus beats the XXI, and you hold the Skus, so every trick your XXI is in is a trick your side wins. The announced Moon capture must fail: each Defender adds 2 Victory Points, and 4 after your Kontra.
Rule: A player who does not believe a contract or an announced bonus will succeed says Kontra, and it pays double (×2).
