The [[Trump (card games)|trump]] cards have a unique ordering where the second to fifth trumps are known collectively as the '''''Moretti''''' (Moors) and are of equal rank (the last one played is the highest, in regards to taking a trick). In the Tarocco Bolognese, these cards are depicted with four Moors, two of which are identical.<ref name="History">{{cite book|last1=Dummett|first1=Michael|last2=McLeod|first2=John|title=A History of Games Played with the Tarot Pack|date=2004|publisher=The Edwin Mellen Press|location=Lewiston|pages=257β314|ref=History}}</ref> [[The Fool (Tarot card)|The Fool]] is not a trump, it can't beat any cards and is played as an excuse from [[Follow suit|following suit]]. The [[The Magician (Tarot card)|Magician]] is the lowest trump. However, both the Fool and the Magician may be used as '''''contatori''''' (counters or [[Wild card (card games)|wild cards]]) to assist in making sequences. The ''contatori'' are very valuable, because they can be used as wild cards in multiple locations. The four highest trumps, which are unnumbered, are Angel, World, Sun, and Moon and they are collectively known as '''''grande''''' (big). Angel, World, Magician, and the Fool are collectively known as '''''tarocchi'''''.<ref>McLeod, John. [https://www.pagat.com/tarot/ottocen.html Ottocento] at [[pagat.com]]. Retrieved 1 February 2018.</ref> The ''grande'', ''Moretti'', and ''contatori'' are not numbered in the Tarocco Bolognese. In the modern game, the cards won by each side are counted in pairs, with 1 being subtracted from the total for each pair. There are also six points for winning the final trick, giving a total of 93 points.<ref name="History" /> {{clear}}
