If three play, the player on the dealer's left hand begins. Furthermore, for any cards to be scored they must be shown to the adversary at the time of scoring this rule holds good in all cases. It does not matter if Greater or Lesser Trumps, which have been already scored, form part of such ten or thirteen all scores are independent of other combinations. If the player has any ten trumps in his hand they will score 10 points, any thirteen trumps 15 points. Whoever has three of the Greater or three of the Lesser Trumps in his hand, scores 5 points for the same 10 points if he has four and 15 points if he have all five. The 22 trumps are not all of the same value.Ģ1, 20, 19, 18, 17, are called the Five Greater Trumps.ġ, 2, 3, 4, 5, are called the Five Lesser Trumps. The points constituting the game are 100, which may be marked on a cribbage board, on paper, or by an ordinary bezique-marker.īefore the hands are played out their score is reckoned in the following way:
The method of dealing is the same, whether two or three players participate, three hands being dealt out in each instance, but if only two players contend with each other, the third hand is untouched by either party. The deal is taken in rotation by each player. The players sort their hands, and the dealer discards the three most useless cards in his own hand and exchanges them for the before-mentioned three cards. There will thus be three hands of 25 cards each, and three cards besides. The dealer dears them out in three hands by five cards at a time, and places the remaining three cards at his own right-hand side. The full pack of 78 cards is shuffled and cut in the ordinary manner. The Game of Tarot may be played by either two or three persons.
These Tarot Cards may be used like the ordinary packs for games, as well as for divination and it may be as well to give the general rules and mode of play. Sacred Texts Tarot Tarot Reading Index Previous Next
