Skype Audio Conference

The game master calls the member of the group via Skype.

  1. For this purpose, he can either select a predefined group
  2. and call this.
  3. Or he calls a single member and then adds one member after the other to the call.

When a member accepts the call, the administrator requests him or her to log-in. He himself was the first to log-in.

Calling Go Online Pane

  1. After accepting the Skype call, each member calls the "Go online" command in KubiTarock. This command is available in the menu of the title bar (left) as well as in the extension of the app bar (right).

  2. Georg has logged-in next.
  3. After him Martina has followed.
  4. Tarobot has taken control of the forth player because only three members are participating.
  5. The game master starts card dealing after he sees that all participating members are online.

Playing Progress

The game then runs exactly as in an offline game. If you play the last card in a trick and if you won the trick, you should make a small break before taking the trick. Otherwise, it could happen that your fellow players do not see which card you have played.

  1. If the Tarobot is involved in the game, he must be triggered to act by the game master in some situations. To ensure that the other players have seen the result of an action performed, before the next is started. This also should not happen too quickly.

Logging-Out

  1. After the last game, all the players will leave the session. You can do this with the button on the app bar as well as with the appropriate button on the go online pane.
  2. In addition, all players close their connection to the Skype conference.
