The Qwl Caller is a Better Caller, who commits himself at the game announcement

• to take the second to the last trick with the Tarock-II (Qwl).
   
• As in all Caller games, he must announce a king who determines his playing partner.
   
• If the called King is found within the Talon, he must take that half with the King and play without a partner. Alternatively, he can surrender the game prematurely. The game and the announced Better Piece are counted as lost.
   

For a Qwl Caller, it is more important to take the penultimate trick with the Pagat than to win the game. This means that no other player should have Tarock at the time of the penultimate trick. Therefore, the declarer and his partner must do their best to reduce the tarocks of the opponents.The easiest way to do this is playing tarocks in this way: One partner leads a lower tarock and the other partner overtrumps high. The partner of the declarer should play tarock whenever possible as long as the announced goal seems to be achievable.
