A knight or cavalier is a playing card with a picture of a man riding a horse on it.

It ranks between the knave and the king within its suit; therefore, it replaces the queen, nonexistent in these packs. The card also features in tarot and tarock packs. In French-suited tarot packs it is usually called the 'cavalier' in English, the ''chevalier'' in French or the ''Cavall'' or ''Reiter'' in German. and ranks between the jack and the queen. Knights do not appear in German or Swiss playing cards; their place being occupied by an upper knave card called the Ober.

Cego
Cego is a Tarot card game for three or four players played mainly in and around the Black Forest region of Germany. It was probably derived from the three-player Badenese game of Dreierles when soldiers deployed from the Iberian Peninsula during the Napoleonic Wars and, based on a Spanish game they had encountered, introduced Cego's distinctive feature: a concealed hand, or blind (Portuguese: ''cego''). Cego has experienced a revival in recent years, being seen as part of the culture of the Black Forest and surrounding region. It has been called the national game of Baden and described as a "family classic". History and development Sometimes called Baden Tarock and, historically, also Zeco, Zego, Zigo, Caeco, Cäco and Ceco (, meaning blind), Cego is seen as part of the cultural heritage of the Black Forest and Baden region.''Cego - Regeln'' at cego.de.
