Seven players. You claimed the Dapp and picked up its twelve cards.
Your hand


















Which six do you keep?
Answer
K
, XX, XVII, XIII, IX, 9
. The King and your four Taroks take five places, so one Club stays beside the King. Keep the 9
: it has no pips, and the Q
you discard puts its 3 pips in your pile. Keeping both Clubs and dropping the K
breaks the discard law.
Rule: When the law allows it, you should discard a card with many pips rather than a card with none.
