The is a dearth of information here about the GAME OF TAROT.
I need educating on the subject.
Here is what wiki says....
The original purpose of tarot cards was for playing games, the first basic rules appearing in the manuscript of Martiano da Tortona before 1425. The game of tarot is known in many variations (mostly cultural); the first basic rules for the game of Tarocco appear in the manuscript of Martiano da Tortona (before 1425; translated text), and the next are known from the year 1637. In Italy the game has become less popular; one version named Tarocco Bolognese: Ottocento has still survived and there are still others played in Piedmont, but the number of games outside of Italy is much higher. The French tarot game is the most popular in its native country and there are regional tarot games often known as tarock,tarok,or tarokk widely played in central Europe.
I have lots of questions...
Some are...
What makes the French game more popular?
How many can play?
How is gambling applied?
Are hands of cards given names?
What is good hand/ what is a bad hand?
Are there better tricks than other tricks?
Do you play with a partner or as a sole player?
Is there a difference between how it was played and how it is played now?
Is there concrete knowledge of how it was played in the first place?
and so on......
Now I do not want any knowledge of the transistion from Game to Divination.
Just the Game.
No great links of copious reading to understand the rules- that can be done here in open and sharing enthusiasm.
Share here like you were explaining Chess to a newbie.
