Caller solo (Solo-Rufer)

As with all caller games, the declarer of a Caller solo must announce a King. As with all solo games, he does not see and does not get the Talon. Therefore, it can be happen, he does not realize that he is playing without a partner until game end. Also, the solo player must take into account that in most rule sets all bonus points are doubled except for Valat. Therefore, if he has no Trula Piece in his hand, for example, it can happen that the opponents will get two points for that.

For a Solo Rufer, you should have 5 good tarocks at minimum. Additionally, one of the following points should be true:

You have 8 tarocks without a Trula Piece.
You have at least 1 Trula Piece and not more than 3 color suits or at least two kings. Also, one of the following sub points should be true:
- At least one King is of a very short suit.
- Either Excuse (XXII) or Moon (XXI) is in your hand.
