Seven players, round one, and you speak first.
Your hand






What is your plan for this hand?
Answer
Pass now, and say “Dapp!” in round two. Count only your Taroks from the XV up: the XXI and the XVIII make two, one short of a Solo, and the two Kings do not count as tricks. The XXI with one other Tarok is a trump stop, so the Dapp is the hand to claim, and the exchange rebuilds it around your two top Taroks.
Rule: A lone King: in Dappen, do not count a lone King as a trick. With five or six opponents, somebody is almost always out of its suit the first time it is led, and the King gets trumped.
