- You want to lose this trick.
Which card do you lead?
Answer
The XV. Seven Taroks are higher, the XVI to the XXI and the Skus, and you hold none of them. The talon holds only six cards, so at least one sits in another hand, and the Rising Rule makes its holder beat you. The K
wins if everyone follows Clubs, and the Q
wins if the K lies in the talon and everyone follows lower.
wins if everyone follows Clubs, and the Q wins if the K lies in the talon and everyone follows lower.Rule: When you lead, choose a card that can win the trick if your contract needs tricks or Card Points, or one that is likely to lose it if your contract wants as few of them as possible.
