What do you bid?
Answer
Pass. You hold the Skus and the XXI, but the Solo also asks for a count of 12, and yours is 10: the Skus and the XXI at 2 each, three Taroks below the XV at 1 each and three Kings at 1 each. No-Trump asks for five sure winners, and your three Kings are only three. The two top Taroks are two of the Solo‘s three conditions, not all of them.
Rule: Solo: claim it with a count of 12, the Skus and the XXI.
