Category:German Tarok group

The German Tarok group of card games encompasses those games which, although not true Tarock games themselves, have been adapted from them to use standard French-, German- or Swiss-suited cards. Typical characteristics:

  • Positive point-trick games
  • Hearts as permanent trumps or a preference suit
  • If players cannot follow suit, they must play a trump
  • Soloist plays against 2-3 defenders
  • Soloist bids to play with or without the talon
