Reveal answer
Answer
Solo. Count the hand: the Skus, the XXI, the XIX, the XVIII and the XVI are big Taroks at 2 each, 10; the XIV, the XI and the VIII add 1 each, 13; the K makes it 14. That is more than the count of 12 a Solo asks for, and you hold the Skus and the XXI. As P4 you cannot play the Call, because it is the Forehand’s contract. If you pass, you are out of the bidding, the final choice goes to the Forehand, and you can no longer play the Solo your hand matches.
