The tarocchi game is of a complicated character and played. In a variety of ways, but in every case the tarots constitute a permanent suit of trumps and take all cards of the ordinary suits. They also vary in value amongst themselves, the higher numbers taking the lower. Three of them, 11 Mondo, II Bagatto, and Matto, which in the modern game are called Matadors, have special powers, and with the four Kings of the other suits constitute the seven honours of the pack.
