Which single card do you take?

Answer
Group A, the K♥. One card is all you get, so make it a Card Point: a lone King is still five points banked for free, and even unsupported it is nearly a whole trick in an 8-card suit, only a 22% chance anyone can trump it on the first round. The plain Taroks and the low Spade offer nothing a hand this strong needs.
