However, in <a href="/wiki/Tarot_card_games" title="Tarot card games">tarot card games</a> it developed to be not one of the (then 21) trump cards but a special card, serving a unique purpose by itself. In later Central European tarot card games, it re-developed to now become the <i>highest</i> trump. As a consequence and with respect to his unique history, The Fool is usually an unnumbered card with a unique design; but sometimes it is numbered as <a href="/wiki/0_(number)" class="mw-redirect" title="0 (number)">0</a> (the first) or more rarely XXII (the last).

This is not true in <a href="/wiki/Tarot_card_games" title="Tarot card games">tarot card games</a>; the Fool's role in most games is independent of both the plain suit cards and the trump cards, and the card does not belong to either category. As such, most tarot decks originally made for game playing do not assign a number to the Fool indicating its rank in the suit of trumps; it has none. Waite gives the Fool the number 0, but in his book discusses the Fool between <a href="/wiki/Judgement_(Tarot_card)" class="mw-redirect" title="Judgement (Tarot card)">Judgment</a>, no. 20, and <a href="/wiki/The_World_(Tarot_card)" class="mw-redirect" title="The World (Tarot card)">The World</a>, no. 21.

In these games, the Fool is sometimes called "the Excuse". Tarot games are typically <a href="/wiki/Trick_taking_game" class="mw-redirect" title="Trick taking game">trick taking games</a>; playing the Fool card excuses the player from either <a href="/wiki/Follow_suit" class="mw-redirect" title="Follow suit">following suit</a> or playing a <a href="/wiki/Trump_(card_games)" title="Trump (card games)">trump</a>. At the end of the trick, the player then takes back the Fool and adds it to their own trick pile and (in most games) gives the trick's winner the least valuable card from that same pile. If there are no cards to give in exchange, the Fool is worth one point less and an extra point is given to the trick-taker. Or, at the end of the hand, it can be awarded to a player or team that has won all the tricks. Usually the Fool can't be captured but in some games it can be won in the last trick which may yield a scoring bonus.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
