You want to win this trick back for your side. Which Tarok do you play?
Answer
The Skus. P4 plays after you and may hold no Spade either, so the XIV loses to any higher Tarok and the XX to the XXI. The Fairy Tale Trick would need the Moon and the Pagat both in this trick, and only P4 is left to play.
Rule: The Skus is the strongest Tarok and beats all the others.
