MATERIALS
- A 78-card tarot deck with the Fool and 21 trump cards
- Paper and pencil for scoring
HOW TO PLAY
1
Deal out the tarot deck evenly among the players, setting aside a small talon if the count does not divide evenly.
2
Each player leads or follows a card from their hand, and the highest trump played, or the highest card of the suit led if no trump is played, wins the trick.
3
The Fool card may be played at any time to avoid following suit without winning or losing the trick.
4
Certain high-value cards, such as the top and bottom trumps, are worth bonus points if won in the final trick.
5
After all cards are played, each player tallies the point value of the cards in their won tricks, and the highest total wins the hand.
