The player of a Beggar commits himself to make no trick at all. Apart from that, the rules for negative games apply. In a Beggar game, you can subdivide your hand cards in the following categories:

• Unwanted takers
• Unsafe non-takers
• Safe non-takers

The Beggar player should act as follows:

• If he can lead the first card, this should happen only once, he should try to make the unwanted taker non-dangerous by playing them as first card. Because of the over trumping obligation, the opponents must take them if possible.
• If he is forced to overtrump the highest card on table, he should choose a card that could be over trumped by a following opponent if any possible.

The opponents of the Beggar player should act as follows:

• Leading of a lower card makes most sense when the Beggar player is at the last position and he could still have one card of that suit. Leading such a lower card could be especially promising if you have the King of that suit additionally and some cards between King and the lower card are outstanding. Also, your partners should not be forced to trump this suit with tarock.
• If you cannot recognize such a possibility, you should try to reduce the tarocks in your hand and in the hands of your partners.
