TAROT AS A GAME
(simplihed rules)
We use the entire deck to play.The game can be
played by3105 people.
-In a game for 3-4 people:we put 6 cards into the
stock in the middle of the table(the dog),the rest
are distributed among the players (every player
gets 24 0r 18 cards respectively).One person(the
attacker),who bids for the game,plays against the
team of the other players(the defenders).
-In a 5-player game:3 cards are put in the stock,
the other cards are distributed among the players
(everyone gets 15 cards).In this game,two teamis
are formed:the attacking and defending one.The
person who has won the bidding chooses blindly
a partner by choosing one king(the attacker).The
partner of this person is revealed during the game
by playing this lking card. It may happen that the
king is in the dog,in which case the player plays
against all the others.
-Counting the points:If the attacker wins the
trick,he gets the number of points,(calculated
from the formula),multiplied times 3.If he loses
he gets minus points.
If the defending team wins,then each of those


plevers receives exactly the amount of points that
coume ot oi the fornula.If they lose then the po-
irsts are dediscted in the satme way.
The sun of the points of all players is 0.
In the Tarol game,the Ace is the 1, the weakest

PLAYING
The player who starts a trick can play any card.
Players must follow suit if they have a suit-led
card;,otherwise,they must play a trump if he has
any, there is a rule of 'overtrump which means
that the player must playa higher trump that was


played so fdr. Only if the player has no cards in a
suit of trumps cards can he play any card.f the
trick is led with a trump,all other players must
play a trump,and each trump must exceed the
rank of all trump previously played in the trick
if possible.If this is not possible,a lower-ranked
trump,or any card if the player has no trumps,
can be played.
The player with the highest card in the suit,or
the highest trump,wins the trick.The value of a
trump is determined by its number:the highest
is trump number XXI and the lowest is trump
number I,which is weaker than the other trump
but stronger than any suit. The player who took
the trick starts the next trick.
All cards included in the collected trick are set
aside for later,to calculate the points at the end of
the game.An exception is the Excuse card,it can
be placed on any suit (cups,swords,pentacdes.

point. If the player starts the last trick with the
Excuse card,it goes to the opponent,who won
the trick, The only exception is when the player
has won all the previous tricks.Then the Excuse


card wins the last trick.
