Tarock and Tarok are traditional card games, distinct from tarot cards used in divination. Originating in the 15th century, these games involve strategic, trick-taking gameplay and have various regional versions across Europe. Unlike modern tarot decks for cartomancy, Tarock and Tarok decks are designed for gaming, featuring a special set of trumps with outdoor scenes and Roman numerals. Trump I often depicts a musician.
NOTE: there are several alternative spellings which derive from the original Italian ‘Tarocchi’ in its journey across different European language regions. In some countries it may be spelt Tarok, Taroky, Tarock or Tarokk but they are all the same thing.
