Master the Goulash
What to do in case of successive passes? Discover the rules of Goulash and automatically calculate the scores of this explosive variant directly in Taromètre.
What is Goulash and when is it played?
In French tarot, players sometimes all pass in succession (no one takes a contract). To avoid the monotony of cancelled deals, the Goulash rule comes into play.
Successive Passes
Usually triggered after 3 general passes (or according to your table's convention), Goulash injects excitement into a game deemed too defensive.
Multiplied Stakes
Hands often turn out exceptional (lots of trumps or honors), leading to more ambitious contracts and doubled or tripled points.
Automatic Management
No more headaches with complex end-of-deal calculations: Taromètre applies Goulash modifiers with a single click.
How to integrate Goulash into your tarot nights?
Goulash brings a wave of strategic madness to tarot tables. Since players generally keep their cards from previous passed deals, trump concentrations become spectacular. Takers can attempt daring Gardes Contre, and defenders must double their vigilance.
However, the scoring of these special deals often relies on specific point multipliers (for example, doubling base scores or applying penalties on failure). Taromètre natively integrates these options so the scorecard remains perfectly accurate without interrupting the game flow.
