tarok

Styrean Tarok, like the Tapp game, requires three players, the fourth one being a silent partner or dummy.

The game called Tapp Tarok requires but fifty-four cards; it is only a variant of the others and is most popular.

Let us make use of our time; the young fellows can dance; let us play tarok.

The tarok-player must not only study his cards, but also the faces of his adversaries.

Conversations round the room were now carried on in whispers; tarok cards were produced and here and there a game was in progress.
