Do you play, or pass?
Reveal answer
Answer
Pass. The test is six or more Taroks with the Skus or the Moon, plus two Kings. Count the Taroks: there are eight, but not one of these eight is the Skus or the Moon (the XXI), and there is no King in the hand. Count the sure winners: the XVI and the XVIII make two, and you should have about six. A failed contract gives your opponent 3 Victory Points. Eight Taroks without the Skus or the Moon and without two Kings do not meet the test. Pass, and if the Dealer passes too, the hand becomes Dodge Round.
