Pagat The fourth of the higher games is Colour Valat. "Valat" means you're going to win every trick. "Colour" means Tarocks become a fifth suit; they are NOT trumps, but you still must play a Tarock if you cannot follow the suit led, the highest card of the suit led wins the trick. Colour Valat is worth 125 pts. Finally, there's Solo Barcelona. Could be called Solo Valat, because the object is to win every trick, but Solo Barcelona has a much nicer ring to it. It's worth 250 pts. Scroll

Beware the steamship heading East, it carries a siren.  Beware of rowboats with one oar.   Beware the bewiskered and bewigged. Beware wearing striped pants with checkered shirts.  Beware the reception of ships with no crew.   Beware the dockmaster; he is an anchorite.   Best to be under a barrel than over a barrel.   Beware a ragged mainsail.   Beware mountain peaks in the distance.   Beware the iron rung on the dock, for it stays boats without a rope.  Beware thinking I may not be soothfast. Beware the old woman at the docks.   Beware, beware with every step beware.
