What do you bid?
Answer
Pass. Your count is 4: three Taroks below the XV at 1 each and the K at 1. A Solo asks for a count of 12 with the Skus and the XXI, and No-Trump asks for five sure winners, but your only sure winner is the K. Six face cards look rich, yet a Queen or a Cavalier is a sure winner only beside every higher card of its suit.
