Learn to play Taroks!

Our twice-monthly The Taroks Group (every first and third Tuesday) meets to play for fun and to improve our tarok skills! Taroks is a very old card game (1400s) that pre-dates Bridge. It even has its own unique card deck and design.

Jimmie and Carolyn Coufal are consistent tournament winners and will teach anyone to play from the level of “Never Heard of It” to winning tournaments themselves. On Tuesday, March 15, we celebrated Jimmie’s win at a recent tournament in Hallettsville and Carolyn’s birthday. Sometimes, there are a few more than a multiple of four people to fill tables. We filled two tables plus extras this night. That’s a great opportunity to rotate around, help out another player, or watch over the shoulder of a more experienced player! Even though the pandemic affected our group attendance, we are coming back and growing! Join us! It’s free of charge!
