Seven players. You claimed the Dapp and picked up its twelve cards.
Your hand
Which six do you keep?
Answer
XXI, XIV, XI, VIII, 8
, 7. You have no King, so your four Taroks take four places and two color cards stay. Keep two pipless cards of one suit: you are void in Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs, and every Queen, Cavalier and Jack counts in your pile. The 3
and the 9
have no pips either but leave you holding two suits, and the Q keeps 3 pips out of your pile.
