You are the Declarer and took Three off the talon. Your hand is now: Skus, XV, XII, IX, VI, III, K
, Q
, C
, J
, 10, 1.
You must discard three cards face down to get back to nine. The candidates on your mind are III, K, and 10. Which are legal?
Answer
The III and the 10 are both legal; a Tarok that the Declarer discards is turned face up for all to see. The K is not: the seven protected cards, the three honours and the four Kings, each 1 Card Point plus 4 pips, may never leave your hand through the discard. Keep the King and find your third discard elsewhere, say the J.
