So I got interested in Tarot, coming at it from the opposite direction of learning that modern playing cards derived from them from my days of playing Magic: the Gathering and learning the phrase “Swords to Plowshares” is how we have Spades and not swords, but you still “cut” the book when playing spades as a trump suit in the card game.
So after that random run-on bit of origin, do you know of any card games that use the full 78 card Tarot deck? I’ve looked into it here and there, but never anything significant.
They’re mostly trick taking games similar to spades or hearts and there’s very few apps to get into them that aren’t in Italian or French let alone any local groups to learn that aren’t in France or Italy.
I’ve been trying to develop a solitaire game that uses the star chart of a chosen date-time/location as the board but I’m having difficulty working out the core mechanic of the 12 point solitaire game let alone the sign/house/planet modifiers.
And before you mention clock solitaire there’s basically no actual choice in that game all of the moves are purely determined by the state dealt at the beginning.
