Trull (cards) Trull (cards) The trull is a trio of three special trump cards used in Tarock games in Austria and other countries that have a much higher card value than the other trumps. The individual cards are known as trull cards ("Trullstücke"). The word "trull" is derived from the French "tous les trois" which means "all three". In spite of its French roots the term is not common in the game of French tarot, where the trull cards are called "les bouts" ("butts") or, in earlier times, "les oudlers", which has no other meaning.

Tarot card games different games claimed the name without any use of Tarocchi cards. The first basic rules for the game of "Tarocco" appear in the manuscript of Martiano da Tortona, the next are known from the year 1637. Excluding Piedmontese tarocchi, which is more closely related to French tarot, Italian tarocchi are all of Type I, i.e. they have trumps other than the I and XXI that are worth more than one card point. Winning the final trick ("ultimo") awards a set number of points. Sicilian tarocchi is played in only four towns with 63 cards from the Tarocco Siciliano deck. Tarocchini
