Point Tarock
Point Tarock was a three-player tarot card game, played mainly in Austria, which used the 54-card ''Industrie und Glück'' deck. It is probably extinct. Furr describes it as being "identical to Tapp but for the addition of a special announcement, allowing a Declarer to capitalize on a very good hand... spicing up the game considerably." Point Tarock is sometimes confused with its close cousin, Illustrated Tarock. History and etymology Point Tarock is one of a family of classical Austrian card games known as Tarock games; so much so, that the area of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, in which they have a strong tradition, has been described as 'Tarockania'.''Tarockania'' at web.archive.org.

Tapp Tarock
Tapp Tarock (german: Tapp-Tarock), also called Viennese Tappen (german: Wiener Tappen), Tappen or Tapper, is a three-player tarot card game which traditionally uses the 54-card Industrie und Glück deck. Before the ''Anschluss'' (1938), it was the preferred card game of Viennese coffee houses, for example, the ''Literatencafés'' and ''Café Central''. Even today Tapp Tarock is played sporadically. The exact date when it appeared is not possible to identify; some sources suggest it may have been developed in Austria in the early 19th century,Kastner and Folkvord (2005) but its mention in caricature operas in 1800 and 1806 suggest it was well known even by then and must have arisen in the late 18th century. The oldest description of the actual rules is dated to 1821.Mayr and Sedlaczek (2001), pp. 105–110 Tapp Tarock is considered a good entry level game before players attempt more complex Tarock forms like Cego, Illustrated Tarock or Königrufen.

Neunzehnerrufen
Neunzehnerrufen (German: "Call the Nineteen") is an Austrian card game of the Tarock (tarot) family for four players. Under the name Taroky or Czech Taroky it is the national Tarock variant of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but - with certain variations – is also played in parts of the Austrian states of Upper Austria, Lower Austria and the Styria as well as in Poland south of the River Vistula. Despite its name, the game is less related to Zwanzigerrufen than to Königrufen. However, it differs from the latter in the number and way the packets are dealt: 12 cards to each of the four players, 2 × 3 cards go, as a talon into the middle of the table. Thus there has been and is a cross-fertilization process between the two variants, with the exchange of game and bonus declarations. Major differences from Königrufen * As the name suggests, a playing partner during a contract of ''Rufer'' (''Ruferspiel'') may not specify a King, but the Tarock XIX. * In contracts in which the a ...

Tarock Card Games
Tarot games are card games played with tarot decks, that is, decks with numbered permanent Trump (card games), trumps parallel to the Playing card suit, suit cards. The games and decks which English-speakers call by the French name Tarot are called Tarocchi in the original Italian, Tarock in German and various similar words in other languages. The basic rules first appeared in the manuscript of Martiano da Tortona, written before 1425. The games are known in many variations, mostly cultural and regional. Tarot games originated in Italy, and spread to most parts of Europe, notable exceptions being the British Isles, the Iberian peninsula, and the Balkans.David Parlett, ''Oxford Dictionary of Card Games'', pg. 300 Oxford University Press (1996) They are played with decks having four ordinary suits, and one additional, longer suit of tarots, which are always trump (card games), trumps. They are characterised by the rule that a player who cannot follow to a trick with a card of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pagat
The trull is a trio of three special trump cards used in tarock games in Austria and other countries that have a much higher card value than the other trumps. The individual cards are known as trull cards (''Trullstücke''). The word ''trull'' is derived from the French ''tous les trois'' which means "all three". In spite of its French roots the term is not common in the game of French tarot, where the trull cards are called ''les bouts'' ("butts", "ends") or, in earlier times, ''les oudlers'', which has no other meaning. Introduction The games of the tarot (French) or tarock (German) family are distinguished mainly in that, in addition to the suit cards, their decks have a series of 21 classical, permanent trumps, most of which are numbered with Roman or Arabic numerals. In games of German-language origin the trumps are also called ''tarocks''. The special role of the 'fool' (''Narren'') is described below.

Kontra (cards)
Kontra or Contra is a term used in certain card games of Central European origin that is called by players to raise the stakes. It is the equivalent of "double" in other games. The term comes from the Latin word, ''contra'', which means "against". In German there is also a verb, ''kontrieren'', which means "to double" or "to announce 'Kontra'". Use in card games Tarock If a player is given the right to bid in Tarock games, an opponent may announce ''Kontra'' if he thinks the soloist is unlikely to win. This doubles the value of the game. If the soloist believes that he can still win the game, he may reply with ''Rekontra'' (or ''Re'' for short), which doubles the game value again. In Tarock, a further doubling is allowed by saying ''Subkontra'' (or ''Sub'' for short) or, occasionally ''Hirsch'' ("stag"), a joking reference to the German word, ''Re(h)'', which means " doe", and results in the original game value increasing by a factor of 8.

Strohmandeln, also called Strohmandel, Strohmanntarock, Strohmanntarok, Zweiertarock, Strawman Tarock or Straw Man Tarock, is an old, two-hand card game from the Austrian branch of the Tarock (card games), Tarock family. It takes its name from the three-packet talon (cards), talon of four cards, the ''Strohmänner'' ("strawmen"), each player has at the start of the game. While the original game has been described as jejune, it was eventually superseded by an attractive successor which is both challenging and very exciting. History The forerunner to Strohmandeln was a two-hand variant of the 78-card Tarock game recorded as early as early as 1800 in a Viennese games compendium, ''Neuestes Spielbuch'', where it was called "Taroc en deux" in which a face-down dummy of 25 cards was dealt but never used during the game. The 54-card version first appeared in 1829, when it was described as "Tapp Tarock, Tarok-Tappen between two players or the so-called Strohmandel". However, in these r ...

Zwanzigerrufen
Zwanzigerrufen or Zwanz'gerrufen is the leading trick-taking card game of the Tarock family in many regions of eastern Austria. Its rules are simpler than the game of Königrufen which is more widely played in the whole of Austria.

Cards Zwanzigerrufen is played with 40 cards taken from the 54-card deck used for Königrufen (the so-called Industrie und Glück deck). The resulting deck consists of 20 tarocks as trumps and 20 plain suit cards. The tarocks are numbered with Roman numerals from I to XXI, in addition there is the unnumbered ''Sküs'' or ''Gstieß''.
