- P2: Two, calls the K♠
Which talon group do you take?
Answer
Group A. Refuse it and the XXI is a Moon left in the talon, which counts as lost by the Declarer: you score minus 4 Victory Points. Group B offers 4 pips with the K
and Group C 5 pips with the Q
and the C, and neither pays for the Moon. Look for the Moon before you count the pips.
