Spades are led and an opponent's Q
is currently winning the trick. You are void in Spades and hold IV, XII, and XVIII among others.
You must play a Tarok. Which one?
Reveal answer
Answer
The IV. Any Tarok beats any color card, so the smallest one does this job for free. The XII and XVIII are for winning Tarok fights later; spending them on a Queen is paying gold for bread. (Beware the one exception: if a LATER player is also void, they can overtrump your IV. With fat pips already in the trick, judge whether the IV is enough.)
