Your hand
Do you say "I'll play" or pass?
Answer
Pass. Six Taroks with the Moon meet the first part of the test, but you hold one King, the K
, and the test asks for two. The three Queens are not Kings, and the sure winners are the Moon, the XVII and the K: three. With two passes the hand is the Dodge Round, and losing it gives your opponent 2 Victory Points where a failed Declarer Challenge gives 3.

That means about six sure winners, Kings and big Taroks (XV and up) counted together. Pass with everything else.
