Solo three, trick 2. You are P3, a Defender. The Declarer (P1) led the Skus, and P2 had to follow with the Moon, P2's only Tarok. Your goal is to win this trick for the Defenders; no later trick can change who wins the Skus and the Moon.

Which Tarok do you play?
Answer
I. The Skus and the Moon are already in this trick, so your Pagat makes it an Emperor’s Trick and wins it, whatever P4 plays. The Defenders take the Skus and the Moon, 8 pips, instead of handing them to the Declarer. Any other Tarok lets the Skus win the trick.
Rule: If the three Trull cards (Skus, Moon and Pagat) all fall in the same trick, the Pagat wins it: in Slovenian Tarok this is the Emperor’s Trick.
