Bells (suit)

In a 32-card pack the lowest card is a 7; in 36-card packs it is a 6. In Austria, the 6 of Bells often has special powers, typically being wild, and is known as the Weli, Welli or Belle. In William Tell and Salzburg pattern cards, the Weli bears the additional suit symbols for Hearts and Acorns in recognition of this role. It may also be promoted to become a high trump card, for example, it is the second highest trump card in the popular Austrian game of Watten. == Gallery ==
