It is in France, where this Tarot card game is most popular. It has also gained a foothold recently in French speaking parts of Canada. There is also a similar game played in Austria and surrounding regions most often under the name of “Tarock”

Many players of Tarot card games, nowadays, use a more modern deck with double-ended court cards and conventional playing card suits of hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds and the trump cards sport arbitrary scenes of 19th century Europe.

Not only do these games excercise one’s thinking and memory skills, they are quite wholesome and suitable for all family members, be they Pagan, Christian, Jewish, atheist or any other creed

I invite the reader to further investigate the more authentic Tarot tradition by doing a Google search on “jeu de tarot” and “tarock”
