Every card from both hands and all six piles will fill exactly 27 tricks. It is trick 26 of 27, the second-to-last. You hold the II in your hand, untouched all hand.
Under the II Ultimo expansion, what exactly must happen for you to claim it?
Answer
You must win precisely trick 26, the second-to-last of the 27, with the II. Play any other card on that trick, or let the II win any other trick, and the II Ultimo simply never happened: the timing is exact, mirroring the family’s Ultimo pattern in the other chapters. The value is +1 silent, an Expansion bonus (Furr; Mayr & Sedlaczek); the timing rule itself is fixed regardless.
