The following tables show the all possible games sorted in ascending order of rank. The game type distinguishes between Positive-Tarock games, Positive-Color games and Negative games. The column Value shows the score. If a different score applies in case of game loss, it is indicated after a slash. The Talon column indicates how many talon cards the game announcer gets. Depending on the individual game, additional bonus points can be made and announced.

Click on the game name if you want to see the details about the particular game. Click on the category if you want to see the basic rules of that game category. If you click on the abbreviation of a bonus point, the browser navigates to the appropriate entry in the table of bonus points.

Table 4 shows the forehand games. The ranking of these games is irrelevant, because the forehand player can choose one of those only if all other players passed and no further licitation takes place:

Game Name Category Rank Score Talon Bonus Points and Additional Conditions
Thrash (Trischaken) Negative 1 1(3) Virgins (no tricks) get 3 points.
Caller (König-Rufer) Positive-Tarock 1 1 3 Possible bonus points: I, II, III, KU, K4, TRL, and VLT.
Three with Six (Sechser-Dreier) Positive-Tarock 1 3/-6 6 Possible bonus points: I, II, III, K4, TRL, and VLT. Full Talon is taken undercover; losing the game doubles the cost.
