The cards are dealt clockwise, with each player receiving four. Players must follow suit if they can. A player who cannot follow suit must play a tarock if he can. A player who is able to head a trick, by playing a higher card than any so far in it, must do so. After each hand, the deal rotates to the player on the previous dealer's left.
Payments There are two types of hand.
The first type is played at the start of the game, and on subsequent occasions when the pot is empty. The second type is played when there is already money in the pot. In the hands of the first type, all the players must take part. The dealer puts four stakes in the pot, and deals. In the play, each player will try to take at least one trick.
