The Tarot Game: A Classic Card Game

Tarot is traditionally played with 3 to 5 players. All the cards are dealt to the players, except for a few cards that make up what is called “the dog.” The player to the left of the dealer is the first to “speak,” meaning to bid a contract (petite, grande, garde, garde-sans, etc.) or to pass. The other players may take turns raising the bid or passing. The player who wins the contract looks at the dog (except for certain contracts), forms a new one, and then announces a King. The person holding the announced King becomes that player’s secret ally (until revealed). The goal of these two players is to fulfill the contract (i.e., reach the required number of points), while the other players try to prevent them from doing so.

Rounds follow one another, and a scoreboard is used to determine the winning player.
