It does not allow to win a trick but it is the third and last Oudler card. The last card is The Excuse (also called The Fool) and works a bit like a joker. Trumps number 1 (called The Small One) and 21 also are Oudler cards. They allow to cut any suit to win a trick, and their value corresponds to their number. There also is an additional card “The Knight” placed between the Jack and the Queen.
