The player of a Beggar ouvert 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 ouvert 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 overtrumper by a following opponent if any possible.

The opponents of the Beggar ouvert player should act as follows:

• You should try to bring that player in the leading position, who can play a card that the Beggar ouvert player must overtrump so high that no follower can overtrump it once again.
• If you cannot recognize such a possibility, you should try to reduce the tarocks in your hand and in the hands of your partners.
