== Tarot as a Game ==
Tarot cards originally emerged as playing cards in the 15th century in Italy. That means the traditional card game significantly predates their mystical associations. This game, which is still played in parts of Europe, is a trick-taking game similar to bridge or spades but with its own unique rules and structure.
[[Tarot Game]]
 
=== The Basics of the Game ===
 
* '''Deck Composition''': The game is played with all 78 Tarot cards. The Major Arcana serve as permanent trump cards, while the Minor Arcana are divided into suits that function similarly to suits in a regular deck of playing cards.
* '''Objective''': The goal of the game is to win tricks, with certain cards holding more value than others. Players aim to score points by capturing specific high-value cards during the game.
* '''Trumping and Winning Tricks''': In this game, the Major Arcana cards can trump any card from the Minor Arcana. For example, "The Fool" can trump "The King of Swords," and "The Magician" can trump any numbered card. The specific rules of which cards trump which can vary, but generally, the hierarchy within the Major Arcana and the order of the suits in the Minor Arcana determine the outcome of each trick.
 
=== Card Hierarchy ===
Different cards have different trumping power. Major Arcana always trump any Minor Arcana, but they can also trump each other. Here are the orders of power in the standard game.
 
'''Major Arcana:'''
 
* The World > Judgement > The Sun > The Star > The Moon > The Tower > The Devil > Temperance > Death > The Hanged Man > Justice > The Wheel of Fortune > Strength > The Hermit > The Chariot > The Lovers > The Hierophant > The Emperor > The Empress > The High Priestess > The Magician > The Fool
 
'''Minor Arcana Suits:'''
 
* Wands > Cups
 
* Cups > Swords
 
* Swords > Pentacles
 
* Pentacles > Wands
 
'''Hierarchy within Each Suit:'''
 
* King
* Queen
* Knight
* Page
* Ace
* Numbered Cards (2-10, higher numbers trumping lower numbers)
