Hungarian Tarokk 42-card deck

42-card Tarokk deck used for Hungarian Tarokk (Paskievics). Derived from the full 54-card Alpine Tarok deck by removing three pip cards from each plain suit. Red suits (Hearts/Diamonds): K, Q, Cavalier, J, 1. Black suits (Clubs/Spades): K, Q, Cavalier, J, 10. All 22 tarokks retained. Per pagat.com, packs are sold as 54 and the 2/3/4 of red suits + 7/8/9 of black suits are removed. Point values printed on the cards: Honours (Sküs / XXI / I) = 5, Kings = 5, Queens = 4, Cavaliers (riders) = 3, Jacks = 2, all other cards = 1. Total in play = 94 card points (Hungarian counting, NOT the Alpine 3-card subtraction convention). Game-specific totals declared in rules.json → scoring.card_points_available.
