I have been unsuccessful finding a reliable website with instructions on how to play card games from the 15-18th centuries (particularly how to play the tarocchi game).
I haven't hit my local bookstore yet, but I'm curious if anyone can point out a website or two with this information?
All of the books and online material I've been reading about the history of tarot cards says they were used for trick-taking games, but never say exactly how to play those games.
This website, http://www.historicgames.com/RPcards.html, seems to have a booklet listing card games (and a bunch of other cool period games), but they don't have a detailed listing of the types of card games they include.
*Edit: They do have a booklet with Tarot games listed- I just had to dig a bit more. http://www.historicgames.com/parts.html*
