- Still out, Taroks: XIII, XII, X, IV.
- Still out, colors: Q♦, J♦, 1♦, Q♠.
Which card do you shed?
Answer
The K
. Without a Tarok you may play any card, and none of yours can win a Tarok trick, so this one costs you nothing. The K is the highest Diamond left, so on a later Diamond lead the Rising Rule would force it to win; the C can still slip under the Q, and the 10
is the lowest Spade.

In the Dodge Round those cards win tricks.
