So happy to see tarot games mentioned on HN, I'm a big fan of their strategic depth and centuries-old cultural background.
Something a lot of people don't realise is that when tarot cards were invented, their intended purpose was to be a game. The whole divination/cartomancy aspect was made up much more recently, mostly to amuse French aristocrats.
