> Wow! It's fun...
> A suggestion for playaing cards: why not including the "Tarots"?
> I mean in French the 4 "Cavaliers" figures, the 18 "Atouts", and the "Excuse"
> (which is not exactly a Joker); sorry I don't have their English names.
> There are lots of books discussing strategies for "Tarots", which is a popular
> card game at least in France and in Northern Italy, with official
competitions.
> Their exact representation may differ between the modern version and the Old
> Tarot of Marseille (the Death, the Hangged man, The Fool, The Judgement, The
> Emperor...), and other variants (Russian Tarot of St-Petersburg, Renassance,
> Palladini, or the classic Rider Waite Tarot...), but their difference is
mostly
> graphic.
