Illustrated Tarock (German: Illustriertes Tarock) or Illustrated Dreiertarock[2] is an Austrian card game that has been described as the "queen" of all three-handed Tarock games played with the 54-card pack.[3] It was thought by Mayr and Sedlaczek to be extinct but, in 2009 when the two Tarock authors were guests on an ORF radio programme, players from Vienna called in who confirmed they still played the game.[4] It is sometimes called Point Tarock[5][6] which, however, is a different, probably extinct, game, albeit a close cousin. Although it has "a reputation for being a little more convoluted than the others", Furr maintains that this is not so, but recommends that players become familiar with Tapp Tarock before attempting this game.[7]
