“ This game, as simple as it is in its play, is always a challenge to teach, since it has so many quirks, but I am glad that a lot of people do show an interest in learning it. It really is very representative of the very earliest Tarocchi games from the 15th century, and therefore, even though hard to "get" the first time around, it is a historically important game, for from it has sprung a ton of modern games such as Spades, Bridge, Euchre, and really any game that has a Trump suit! Thanks to all the new players who attended, and also, thank you for your patience! With time invested learning it well, this really is quite a sweet little past-time. Deanne, French Tarot, though more complex in the fact that there is a round of bidding, is much easier to catch onto, since the cards look much like our "regular" card deck, and there is none of the "irrational ranking" (10-1 & 1-10) and the scoring is easier as well. What can I say, the French have simply improved it in countless ways! ”
