Tarot (charts)

The charts of tarot are mainly used to play play éponyme.

Contents

A play of tarot comprises 78 charts to play:
  1. Fifty six charts divided into fourteen charts of the four traditional signs: prick, heart, square and clover. The difference with a traditional play of 52 charts is the rider, appears being intercalated between the lady and the servant. In the decreasing order of force and value, one thus finds:
  2. * honors: King, Lady, equipped: Rider and Servant
  3. * points: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. The 1 is the smallest chart of the package contrary with what is practiced in many play where the Ace is stronger than the King.
  4. Twenty and one charts carrying a number: in fact the assets (or tarots) take precedence over the colors. The number indicates the force of each asset, most extremely, the 21, with weakest, the 1 (called “small”).
  5. the “excuse”, a marked chart of a star and representing a player of Mandoline. It is about a kind of joker.

Format

The format of the charts is longer than that of the others Card decks. Indeed, the number of distributed charts being rather large (18 charts per player, even more in the play with three), it would be difficult to keep in hand with the ordinary format.

Traditional dimensions of a chart of tarot are of 61×112 Misters.

Use

One uses most of the time the charts of tarot to play Tarot, but there exist other plays which use the same material with notably different rules. One will quote in particular:
