Watch “This is Tarot!,” a how-to-play guide for Tarot from TrionfiTarot on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by TrionfiTarot on YouTube:

Tarot cards are not only used for divination or the occult. The Tarot is also used to play fun card games similar to Spades, Euchre or Sheepshead. The Tarot first appeared in northern Italy during the 15th century not for fortune telling but for playing a trick taking card game. The use of Tarot cards for divination or the occult did not begin until the 18th century. People today in continental Europe still play card games with Tarot decks. Many Tarot players now use a modern Tarot deck with the suit signs of hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs. Tarot, Tarock and Tarocchi card games are especially popular in France, Italy, Switzerland and central Europe and there is also a growing number of people outside Europe becoming aware of them! This video is a presentation of the French game of Tarot.

About Tarot, from BoardGameGeek:

Not to be confused with divinatory tarot, the game of tarot probably comes from Italy. It is played with a 78-card deck that has 56 suited cards (similar to the 52-card Poker deck, with the addition of a Cavalier or Knight court card between the Jack and Queen in each suit), plus 21 suitless trump cards in ascending rank, and one "Fool", similar to the Joker but with differing origins. In the most popular tarot game, called French Tarot in most English-speaking countries, one of the players will be the taker who will be playing against all the other players. The takers' goal is to make a certain amount of points in order to fulfill the contract which the taker player bids on at the beginning of the game. The goal of the other players (called the defense) is to stop the taker from achieving their score. The defense plays as a team against the taker. After receiving their hand, the players will take turns betting on a contract based on whether they think they can achieve the number of points required. The last player to place a bet will become the taker. A large number of European card games are played with either the full tarot deck or a subset of it, often re-faced in Germanic or other Eastern European motifs.
