Seven players, round one, and you speak second.
Your hand






What is your plan for this hand?
Answer
Pass now, and say “Dapp!” in round two. The XX with two other Taroks is a trump stop, and the V and the III are those two, small as they are. With a trump stop the Dapp is the hand to claim, because the twelve-card exchange rebuilds the hand around the XX. A Solo is out: you hold one Tarok from the XV up.
Rule: With a trump stop on the ladder, the trump-stop duty can force you to bid, and that is also the hand worth claiming voluntarily, because the twelve-card exchange rebuilds the hand around the trump stop; without a trump stop, pass.
