Game

Slovenian Tarok

slovenski tarok

Slovenia's house game, nineteen clubs deep, and it keeps score with real teeth.

Nobody has a partner here, and it is the form the clubs run their tournaments on.

Deal
The Dealer lays six cards face-down as the talon and deals 12 cards to each of the four players.
Bid
The players bid in turn, and when the other three players have all passed on a bid, the player who owns that bid is the Declarer and plays that contract or a higher one.
Call
In some contracts the Declarer calls a King; in these contracts, and in most of the contracts that the Declarer plays alone, the Declarer takes part of the talon and discards the same number of cards face-down. After that comes a round of announcements, in which each player in turn announces a bonus or passes.
Play
The players play the hand out trick by trick.
Score
After the last trick the Declarer’s side counts its Card Points in most contracts. The Declarer’s side adds Victory Points when it wins the contract and subtracts Victory Points when it loses it, and the players play to 200 Victory Points and end with the Skus round.
