| 5 or 6 Tarocks should do. Your basic
strategy for Two is the same as for Three, except you're going to discard 2 cards from
your hand and choose a set of 2 cards from the Talon. It may be more difficult to short
suit you hand, but at the same time, you'll be picking up fewer "garbage" cards
that may be in the Talon. Focus on keeping
the lead. Try to figure out who your partner is as soon as possible. If you call the King
of spades and someone plays a Tarock when spades is led, that someone is an opponent
because everyone must follow suit or play a Tarock, and this someone clearly has no
spades! Now, you know who one of your opponents is.
The other opponent now knows who's on which side:
the player who played the Tarock on the spade is her partner, and the remaining player is
your partner. Now she knows who to throw points to, making it more difficult for you to
win.
Finally, protect the called King. The called King
is worth 15 points to your opponents an |
