Earliest rules
editAn even earlier set of rules has now been located that needs to be incorporated into the article: Schmidt, J. St. (1851). Leitfaden zur richtigen Auffassung und Ausführung des Tarok-Spiels. Nuremberg: Schmidt. Bermicourt (talk) 19:48, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- Update. Another ruleset has been located dated 1839! This is an older game than we thought! Bermicourt (talk) 10:36, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
an inconsistency about self-raises and scoring
editThe article says: "In some places there is a tradition, that a player who is not forced to bid by the opposition, may raise the bid himself". But the payment system as stated in this article wouldn't work with that rule; the payments are stated to be only for actual points won, and none are for the contract level bid (beyond Hand), so no sane person would ever wish to bid more than absolutely necessary in points under these rules, as it gives no gain at all and increases the risk of failing the contract.
I see however a number of sources that do give a bonus for bidding higher -- german wiki version of this very article for eg, as well as one described in David Parlett's The Penguin Book of Card Games.
I think some kind of suggestion on how to score under this optional rule should be stated along with the rule for consistency sake. 141.138.36.52 (talk) 22:27, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
