As far as divinatory decks, tarot seems to be the best (only?) example. <br /><br />German playing cards over this period were pretty interesting, too, as you could find a lot of different suits beyond the traditional four. They also had a game similar to tarocchi, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. I can't say too much about Russian cards or divination; you can of course by contemporary tarot decks that use Russian language, art, and style, but they are still part of the Italian tradition.<br /><br />Thanks for the link to the tarocchi rules! Tarocchi can also be considered a precursor to bridge, for people who are interested.

Like what would the German or Rusiian versions look like I wonder. <br /><br />By the way, here's how to play tarocchi the card game<br /><br />https://www.pagat.com/tarot/piedicavallo.htmlEric Earleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148801837671066341noreply@blogger.com
