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.
