games

- Gog:Tarocchi - Gog:Minchiate <- this looks important !! - Minchiate is a late-medieval card game, probably originating in 15th century Florence, Italy; it is no longer widely played. Minchiate can also refer to the special deck of playing cards used in the game. The deck is closely related to the tarot cards, but contains an expanded suit of trumps. The game was similar to tarocchi and the game of tarot. In the view of some people, the larger number of trump cards may shed light on what the original intentions of the creators of the Tarot deck meant by the images they included. - images: http://www.tarothermit.com/florence.htm http://l-pollett.tripod.com/cards17.htm - GAME RULES http://www.tarocchino.com/

research

- seems to be the best forum: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/ - http://www.learntarot.com/less1.htm WikiPedia:Tarot_card_games WikiPedia:Taboo:_The_Sixth_Sense searchable database: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/ I am of the opinion that a Tarot "game" for the NintendoDS would sell quite well. I would love to make one. It might be cool to expand it out to other types of superstitions like astrology and blood typing... but no, keep it simple and go for interactive "FortuneTelling" - Interesting as a manner of decision making. i've sen on a forum where a writer invents a spread in order to determine the direction of a story plot. - Img:Tarot+Spreads
