Tarot Cards & Games

Tarot cards were used for playing card game long before they were used for divination. So we've written a booklet with a short history of them and included six games including the earliest surviving tarot games dating back to the 17th century. For some reason Tarot games never became popular in English speaking countries, but the descendants of those games are still playing in parts of Europe. The basic games are trick-taking games using the Major Arcana as a trump suit. Downloadable in PDF format.
