Hi
I had a short break away in France and a few times while walking down the streets I noticed places that played cards games like bridge, poker and tarot.
I've never seen such clubs before. I know that in some places you card games and chess in pubs but it was really nice to see tarot on the list.
Do you have any clubs near you which plays tarot??
It would good to find out more info
Thanks
Delia :)

I've heard of a game called Tarock or Tarocchi which is sort of like bridge. Never played it, though. Robin Wood gives instructions in the book to her deck.
I've never known anyone to play Tarocchi around here. Anyone I know who uses tarot uses it for metaphysical purposes. I live in a generally conservative area of the US, and I think the "witchy-bad" reputation tarot has around here makes people reluctant to touch the cards for any reason.
But some of us know better.

I've encountered a lot of webpages with European tarot leagues. In a sick and preverse way, it reminded me of Americans and bowling. Heh heh. :)

Laurel do you have a list of these webpages so I can have a nose.
I'm not intresting in playing but I just want to know where and why.
I've spoken to a few of my French friends and they only know the tarot to play card games but not for fortune telling etc. I think it's more common in Europe for some reason.

Hi acidguru,
Just try French yahoo search engine with the word "tarot", you will get plenty of Tarock (I prefer this spelling for the card game) game clubs and very few dealing with tarot as means of divination.
