Start of video: This seems pretty easy
End of video: WTF
the scoring system is pretty complicated
Same, I never thought a card game would require a calculator lol
@@chrispycrunch9172 you don't need one lol
@@eduardoxenofonte4004
I do....
@@marmite400 well, it's just some additions and basic multiplication, it shouldn't be that hard
I already knew how to play this but those were some very very very good instructions. Much clearer than when I learned it.
Ny Fanilo Andrianjafy I’m confused about a thing, at every trick where you play the fool, once another one wins the trick you always have to replace the joker with a 0.5 card?
@@cybeller9461 *"If the trick is in fact won by the opponents of the player of the excuse, the trick will be one card short; to compensate for this, the team that played the excuse must transfer one card from their trick pile to the winners of the trick. This will be a 0.5 point card; if they do not yet have such a card in their tricks, they can wait until they take a trick containing a 0.5 point card and transfer it then."*
I need the steps in spanish to understand it better
I’m gonna need to watch this a few times to understand it, I’m typically a Euchre player who’s trying to understand more complex card games. This one stands out, and although I’m not entirely following after watching this video once, it’s a very clear and concise video. Well done 👍🏽
Have you read/watched about bridge of 500?
I absolutely adore French Tarot. One of my all time favorite card games ♥️♦️♠️♣️ 😎
Used to know how to play years ago, but I forgot a whole lot. Thanks for the guide
I'm 15 and just got into poker YOU ARE VERY HELPFUL pleas don't stop making videos I've learn so much, I've found a new hobby, thx
Poker fits only to fireplace.
It's nice to hear people not talk about the so-called "spiritual aspect" of these cards.
As a realist and advocate for logic and scientific fact, the "spiritual aspect" is completely baseless and invalid.
I just REALLY like card games. Texas Holdem and Yu-Gi-Oh will always be my favorites.
THIS
I'm tired of people thinking of some "mystic" (aka scammer) doing some bullcrap when hearing the word "Tarot". Also I think trick taking card games in general are way too underrated, most probably only know about Hearts, which is a shame since there are many awesome games of this type.
@@HatterTobias Yeah. Like Spades or Brag. (Brag especially. Ever seen Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? That scene is awesome.)
We journeying to Egypt with this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for adding the rules review at the end! Very helpful.
I just got a deck at work for one of our appreciation week giveaways. I was wondering why they were giving out Tarot cards then a colleague told me she used to love this game back in the day. Who knew?! I work at a French school.
Excellent job!!! I was looking for this a long time ago. Thanks a lot!!!
perfect, just what i neded to refresh my memory of this game that I used to play as a teenager.
If I may, you NEVER open a colour (try/taste a new colour) while being the last player unless you have the "Petit" 1, and indicates to your mates that it is the colour where you have the least (1-2).
I can see why there are clubs for this game! 😂 Looks like a lot of fun!
I can confirm that it's a lot of fun
When played with 5 players I think it'd make for an awesome party game (provided that the players know the rules)
Thanks for the video! I would also love a video on Danish Tarok, which is another sophisticated tarot card game.
I'll have a tutorial on Danish Tarok up soon on my channel - a friend of mine recently developed Danish Tarok (under the historical name Grosstarock) on BoardGameArena.com if you want to try it for free online.
me after watching this video: I think I’ll stick with astrology
When telling the future is easier than a card game
@@yourlocalbicronoverlord so true
hahahahaha!
I have a nice collection of tarot cards lol, mostly rider waite smith decks, also the key master tarot has french suits. Morgan Greer and Hanson roberts are neat decks
Have you ever played some tarot/tarok games?
so much easier to understand than how wikipedia says it's played
Came for the scores at 6:04
Great channel! You deserve much more credit
So glad you made this video! Thank you!
This reminds me of Spades without the excessive point system.
Spades is very similar, and in fact most trick-taking games are descended from tarot
The game was originally gambling, and points were money.
Thats why the game is point neutral.
I always used tarot cards for divination but knew they were a game prior to that. Now I'm interested in learning the games & this one reminds me of Spades with following the prior suit and trumps. Hope to give the game a real try soon :) thanks for the video ❤
That's what i thought too.
Yes, it's very similar to spades. Games like bridge and spades actually originates from tarot. I must admit this game is quite addictive :)
the wording in the section with the bids is confusing to me ...
Pity it isn't played in fixed 2+2 parterships like bridge. It creates great tactical opportunities.
The five player variation is like that and much more fun. The caller calls a king of choice before seeing the dog, and the king is revealed as play continues. Really interesting twist
@@le_blake Yes, calling a king is a great mechanic from card games such as Slovenian tarok and German Schafkopf. But I played French tarot quite a lot and I must admitt that it is constructed in such a way that playing alone is not a big drawback. French Tarot is far behind bridge and I would say even behind Austrialio-American 500, but it is excellent game.
I was confused at the start, I thought I caught on, I was actually just even more lost.
So, what’s the actual point of counting half points? Why not just count whole points?
Fun fact : French Tarot is the most popular card game in France.
Where's that?
@@godrilla5549 Google
@@SkinWalker-dl9pf i don't understand
@@godrilla5549 don't understand what?
@@SkinWalker-dl9pf underwear?
during the bidding stage, the video shows one player bidding and three players passing - what happens if multiple people bid or no-one bids? are these legal moves?
1. If all passes there is another deal.
2. Every second bid must be higher than the previous one.
You can also play with 5 people. and the one who take the bid has to call for a king who will play with him before watching the dog.
This feels like mahjong with all of the scoring maths
This game is the second most popular in France after Belote. There are 19 or so other card games played throughout Europe that use Tarot cards.
Why do I always have a hard time understanding game rules 😫😫 This was confusing af
You need to play the games to the rules be more 'learnable'.
Understood, except what is the difference between a small and a guard? During the example, player 3 flips up the 6 bonus cards for all to see. Does that not happen during a small, or guard with or without for that matter? Thank you for this video
Small and guard bids are essentially the same. The only difference is the multiplier used when scoring (one vs. two). A player would bid guard when a little more confident.
@@GatherTogetherGames I see. It's basically higher risk because if you lose you lose double the amount. Thanks
You need to finish the Fool's Journey in order to understand this...🤯🤪
Where did you buy tarot cards for game? I can only find tarot cards for just occult..
You have to look for Tarock, not Tarot
You can use occult tarot cards for this game. It's the same structure as tarock. 78 cards, consisting of 14x4 suits + 22 major arcana.
Something I haven't yet reconciled: A different rulebook I was reading had these bids instead: Small, Push, Guard. It didn't mention Guard Against and Guard Without, but it did have the Push bid, which isn't mentioned here at all. Sadly, that ruleset didn't properly describe what the bids actually meant for the scoring, which makes it impossible to use for real play anyway.
I guess there are multiple rulesets still in active play even today.
Also, how do bonuses work in the case where the taker fails? I know the video has the equation laid out the same way, but it seems odd how, if you got the petit bonus, you'd actually lose _more_ points than if you didn't get it.
Yet another awesome card game thanksss🔥🖤
I played this once, i was so lost.
Ok, I must admit this game is quite fun and addictive. It's still far behind bridge but requires quite a lot of thinking and memorization. The strategy in this game is completly different than in bridge so it's still worth playing if you know bridge. Even more: you can be bad in this game even though you're good in bridge.
Excuse me, may I make bold to ask a question? I know that when somebody plays an Atout and I also have Atouts, I must play one of them to follow it. However, if I only have one Atout and it is L'excuse, is it permitted not to play it instead of playing other pip cards or face cards? Thank you very much!

And when the Death card shows up, you're screwed
"I spent all night playing poker with tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died." - Steven Wright
@@Jaydoggy531 🤣
And when the Death card shows up, you wonder if you got the wrong deck.
The death card is the trump 13 card.
Do a video on how to play the Non Partisan Uno card game, please.
French Tarock (or Tarok whatever you spell it) should have 54 cards by removing all blacks from 1s to 6s and all reds from 5s to 10s so that it will require less cards, and thus a faster game, and be "compatible" with a standard 54 card deck.
Thanks for this. Do you have a video on the five player variation? It’s much more fun
Legend says there is a fifth player somewhere.
Can you share where you purchased the deck used in the video?
Well delivered video! Thanks!
One question pops up: Is it allowed to come out with a trump card, even when you have 'normal' suited cards?
Yes, a player can lead a trump card anytime
@@GatherTogetherGames Thanks! My family had massive fun yesterday learning and playing French Tarot on our vacation in France (Bretagne). You can find very nice tarot decks for this game in tourist shops over here...
But what if everyone put a card in the middle but all the cards are half a point. Who wins then?
i'm sometimes sad that tarot games died out in most places but when i hear explanations like this i can't wait for them to just be forgotten entirely
nah dude, this actually looks fun to play
Can you play this with non-french tarot decks you find online? It seems like you can, just the suit names are different.
Yep! It's just a bit more difficult to sort your cards and play them quickly when they don't have pips/corner indices.
Is this that famous Fizzbin from Beta Antaris IV , and if yes do the rules change on Tuesdays?
I don't know how to score. I play it with an app.
In what conditions the fool wins the trick at the end? Please repeat it in replies ‘cause I don’t get it.
Do the suits matter in this game, or is it just the trumps that matter?
Those are some gorgeous cards. Where did you get them?
Fournier Jeu de Tarot on Amazon
@@101popster FUCK Amazon, Ebay is a good source of purchase or Le Bon Coin . com
So this is kinda like tarock mixed with remi cards
excellent!
Ok I have a question if someone can answer I'd appreciate it, if you can't follow suit and also don't have any trumps left you can just play any card right? If this happens and the highest ranking card is played by two people (like if someone has a king of hearts and someone else a king a diamonds and nobody else played a higher card), then who wins the trick?
If no trump card is played, the highest ranking card in the suit that was led (the suit of the first card played) wins the trick.
Great video thanks a lot.
One question: if a clubs suit is set, then a player plays a trump card (because they have no clubs), but the following player does not have a higher trump card to play does he/she still have to play in suit (a club) or can they play anything?
A player with a club will have to play a club when clubs are led. So, in this situation the player must play a club.
if all of the cards you got in a hand were trumps and honor cards, the rounds proceed as normal?
Me watching the gameplay: This isnt so hard, looks pretty fun.
Me when I got to scoring: WTF is this game???
🤔Ok I'll have to watch and play ▶ and watch this several more times lol😅
Does anyone know where I could buy a deck of cards for this game? I'm struggling to find one.
Thank you for this guide. I am trying to find a good deck to play this game with, but in the US I am only finding divination cards. What is your recommendation?
It can be played by the Tarot of Marseilles, the 1JJ Swiss, the Tarot del Toro or the Tarot Loka decks if there is no Tarot Nouveau deck in your possession. The game mechanics remains the same. In fact, the truck drivers in Southern France played it until 1972 with the Tarot of Marseilles, and the 1JJ Swiss deck is even still used for games in Europe. Be sure that the deck is brand-new and it wasn't used by someone else for divination.
What is the difference between a small and a guard bid (exept for the multiplier)?
If someone proposes first a small bid, then it's your turn to call and you really want to play it, you can outbid him in calling for a guard. Then you can also do the same with a "guard without" and a "guard against" (which happens rarely obviously).
What do you do with the Kings if the taker cant set them aside?
Idk if you still need this cuz 6 month old comment but you put them in your hand and discard to your score pile a different card
My intuitions told me to stick to tarot reading lol
Finally!
I got a question, is it possible to play it with any tarot deck? Most decks I've seen sold are the divination types.
Jeu de Tarot is the card deck used in this video.
You can play it using Tarot of Loka Card Deck
does anyone know how to find a deck of these cards? For some reason i cant find any.
it has to be shipped from europe or america

Please kindly include in the descriptions how many players each game is for
@2:14 reminds me of the rules to the game "Go Johnny Go Go Go"
th-cam.com/video/WtSvaSZ-xLU/w-d-xo.html
I already knew how to play but another tip is to watch people play to learn strategies
Why exacly are kings 4,5 point and normal cards half a point when they could be 9 and 1 respectively
because when counting the point you always count cards by two.
Usually you match two cards to score. A king or honor card with a .5 point card is 5 points. Same with queens, knights and valets. All other cards are paired for one point per pair.
That may make things easier to score.
Is it more fun than Spades? This game has more cards and rules.
It's a lot more fun once you get the hang of it
@@HatterTobias But it would be more fun if was played in fixed 2+2 partnerships.
@@plrc4593 Not for me. In my opinion, being able to win against all other players by yourself (maybe by the help of the kitty too) gives you a sort of dopamine rush that just doesn't exist in a game like Spades
If you want a 2v2 card game though you might like Doppelkopf (although sometimes a player can go solo it's mostly a 2v2 game)
i didnt know tarot was a game, ill never use cards for divination like a fortune teller and such.
It used to be entirely for playing purposes, but some idiot thought it was a good idea to use it for divination
@@HatterTobiassome Idiot who's bad at card games lol
When discarding at the beginning, the taker cannot discard Kings. Can he discard Trump?
no and if you could you would certainly not want to as you can steal points with them and if you run out then you cant take the hand if you dont have that color
No you can''t, but if you have only trumps in your hand so you have to discard some of them and you have to show them to other players
Where do you buy a French tarot deck from the US?
Ebay.
how to play uno spin is next
Can you please tell me the name of the deck that was used in this video....
It's called a Tarot Nouveau deck. If you want to buy one online, you can usually find them if you search "Jeu de Tarot" on eBay or Amazon.
@@aaronrichard5647 ebay, give money to people not to Bezos,
@@rugueuxbysurson3118 indeed - preferably from ebay or direct from a retailer! My point is that it's a pretty easy deck to find online.
I was under the impression that Italian deck games were the most complicated. Not anymore.
You might want to see Skat
Btw Skat is one of my favorite card games, along with this one
@@HatterTobias Skat seems very popular with free browser and linux game devs. So I've tried to learn it from digital adaptations, but the instructions were always so poor that I gave up.
So it's kinda like reverse Hearts with extra math
Hearts is actually kind of the inverse. In other trick-taking games, like Spades or Bridge, you actually want to take the tricks, just like with this one.
@@Heroshii15 yea yea that's what I'm saying, in Hearts you don't want tricks, unless you get them all, and in this one you do want tricks.
wtf, is this a game or a math homework?
A game, a really fun one at that
I'm sticking to spades lol
Looks like an over complicated and less fun version of skull king
Vid idea: Madrasso

I have build a Tarot game based on The Simpsons episode, The Serfsons
Just make sure you don't use your divination deck for games, or else something terrible will happen.
Lol. As example, nothing will happen. Or maybe even... nothing, yeah, yeah, still nothing.
Tarot was playing cards until the esoteric bullshit creation in XVIII century, when people get bored with their traditional religions
The Marseilles Deck was used by French drivers up till 1972 for games so it's not restricted to divination. If you have no Tarot Nouveau, you can use a _brand-new_ Marseilles or its following derivatives: 1JJ Swiss (still used in Europe for games), Tarot del Toro (IMHO too dark-themed to be a regular divination tarot except shadow-working and with pip cards indexed like in the game decks) and Tarot Loka (which is designed _primary_ for games).
My head hurts lol
*plays game*
*causes everyone at the table to die*
Not THAT tarot.
кто нибудь сделайте русские субтитры
🙃
That equation looks like chemistry to me.
That’s what people should do with Tarot cards. Not esoteric bullshit
Perhaps. But the symbols on traditional tarot can facilitate the dialog with your own ego. All playing cards are built according to some informational order so they can serve as a good mnemonics about the present, past and the actual trend. It's a better organized combinatoric set to order your thoughts than for example throwing dice.
Through the whole history, reaching as far as the most ancient days the people used bibliomancy for this reason, i.e. dealing with their subconscious psychology, before the playing cards were available. They opened _I-Ching,_ _Torah,_ _Iliad_ or _Quran_ at a random place and analysed their actual situation using the means of the first verse which they saw. The symbolism of the old Tarot Trumps was borrowed mainly from the _Biblia_ _Pauperum,_ and it was devised and popularized as a game by Late Medieval and Early Renaissance religious ideologists in order to be a kind of _Torah_ for the illiterate. PS. Did you ever see the Minchiate deck? It was even much more allegorical. Also used primary for games but with some moral message to the crowd. The Tarot of Marseilles is essentially an abridgment of that deck.
