Some of the positive games allow the declarer to choose one-half (3 cards) of the Talon or to take the full (6 cards) Talon. After insertion of the Talon cards in his hand, the player must put down the same number of cards on his tricks pile. If the declarer gets only one half of the Talon, his opponents will get the other half when the game is finished. Depending on the kind of game, the following rules are applied:

• Three with Six
  • The full Talon will be sorted undercover into the hand cards of the declarer.
  • Afterwards, he must deposit six cards on his tricks pile. Kings or Trula Pieces are not allowed to be deposited. If he deposits tarocks, he must lay down them face-up to allow all players to see and count the tarocks already out of the game. In case of KubiTarock, the number of deposited tarocks is shown publicly nearby the tricks pile.
     
• Positive tarock games with Talon selection
  • The Talon will be exposed in two parts of three cards each.
  • The declarer chooses one of the parts. If a Caller game is declared and the called King is in the Talon, the declarer must take that part with the King and play without a partner. Alternatively, he may surrender the game prematurely to prevent a contra against his game or in case of a Better Caller against the Better Piece in this way.
  • The chosen Talon part will be sorted into the hand cards of the declarer.
  • Afterwards, he must deposit three surplus cards on his tricks pile. Kings or Trula Pieces are not allowed to be deposited. If he deposits tarocks, he must lay down them face-up to allow all players to see and count the tarocks already played. In case of KubiTarock, the number of deposited tarocks is shown publicly nearby the tricks pile. The cards deposited are scored only if the player wins at least on trick.
     
• Positive color games with Talon selection
  • The Talon will be exposed in two parts three cards each.
  • The declarer chooses one of the parts.
  • The chosen Talon part will be sorted into the hand cards of the declarer.
  • Afterwards, he must deposit three surplus cards on his tricks pile. Kings or Trula Pieces are not allowed to be deposited. Tarocks may be deposited and they will not be shown publicly, because counting the tarocks played is not essential for other players. The cards deposited are scored only if the player wins at least on trick.
