Answer
Pass. The test is six or more Taroks with the Skus or the Moon, plus two Kings. Count the Kings: there are two, the K
and the K
, and the Skus is here too. Count the Taroks: there are four, which is two short. Count the sure winners: the Skus, the XVII, the K
and the K
make four, and you should have about six. Both of you have now passed, so the hand becomes Dodge Round, and losing there gives your opponent only 2 Victory Points where a failed contract gives 3 Victory Points. Two Kings and the Skus meet part of the test, but the Tarok count is two short, so you pass.
