Bonjour Fulgour
Merci mon ami. Excuses acceptés.
Pour ma part, je vais essayer être plus sensible au "tone" dans l'avenir.
Maintenant, revenons à nos moutons!
Fraternellement,
Ross

Whooooooo Weee, what a long strange trip its been (daja vu?)
listen…tarot…tarrochi…the game…it’s a game.
Without differences of opionion, one cannot play a game. Horse races vanish. Poker vanishes, bridge becomes unbidable…
but what keeps them alive – is that in a game – you and I are provided with data sets – and we understand that we are going to disagree on the data sets.
Further, we understand that we are involved in a zero sum game or a non-zero sum game.
a forum is not a zero sum game.
umbrae pushes his chips towards the center of the table…”I’m all in…ana mish khoaga siddiq. Maalish, inshallah bukara.... Af 'em - ana mish bitkillim..."
There's this guy - Dan Pelletier...he always tells me, "Differences in opinion are what make card games, horse races, and politics..." I think he's a tad dense...

I've never played with other players, but did buy the Mac OS X version of the game of Tarot, and have enjoyed playing it. I am VERY much an amateur.

Tarot is the hottest game every. And I'm its evangelist. I teach it to everyone I can, and it's almost always well recieved. We tend to play according to the Slovenian rules, as they seem to be the least baroque.

So far as Tarot being or ever having been a game
I think the usual pattern goes something like this:
1) The historian contends that tarot was a game.
2) The historian researches the oldest cards and,
3) Tarot is dismissed as but an historical curiosity.
But we the living can see the Tarot in action now,
and exactly so we can see it used for Divination...
Some people can only see what they can touch,
but others can touch what no one else can see.
