Which bid do you make?
Answer
Pass. Two cards here will win a trick whether you like it or not: the XIX, a big Tarok with small Taroks below it, and the K
, a bare high court. With two such cards you lose the Piccolo, and the Beggar allows none.
Rule: Piccolo: exactly one card that will win a trick; with two such cards you lose the Piccolo.
