In the US (And I think most English speaking countries??) "tarot" generally refers to the divination cards people use to do readings about the future and such. "French Tarot" is the trick taking card game using the 78 card deck with the standard (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) suits+the trump suit. That said, most people in the US would have no idea what I meant if I mentioned french tarot, and would just assume I was talking about the divination cards. Lol
It's honestly become my favorite card game, though I've really only just started getting into it.
Uuuuh that french tarot game seems right up my alley. Nice. Ill be at your place in ten.
It's so worth getting into it you've got people to play with. Online play is a thing, too, but the rules are complicated enough that I had to play with physical cards a few times to really get it. I also slightly updated the rules on it and created a formula for the calculator to make it easier for folks. I didn't so much change the rules for our home game, but updated the scoring. Normal french tarot using half point that made the math difficult for some people, so I moved the decimal and 4.5 became 45, shit like that
Looked at the rules and will try. Thanks for the half point change. Might help.
If you want, I made a little rule sheet designed to printed out in tarot card size to go with the deck. It's pretty minimal, but includes a nice formula for the calculator so you don't have to actually do any math when tabulating scores.
Also, pro-tip: only the takers points matter. You don't have to calculate the scores of everyone at the table, as defenders points are literally worthless. The only thing that matters is if the taker makes their contract.
Oh yeah i really want that.
I'll look for it tonight. Reply to this at some point, if you don't mind. It'll remind me to post it for you. Lol
