Which card do you play?
Answer
C
. With no Club and no Tarok you may play any card, and the C is the highest Heart still out. If someone leads a Heart later, the Rising Rule makes you beat it with the C and take that trick, which can carry you over 35: minus 14. Throw away the card that can still win a trick while this trick goes to someone else.
