Untitled[edit]

I’d recommend a different approach to the Tarocchini rules. What you have now is an edited copy of the class notes I put together for a class on teaching Partita. Partita is a fairly obscure game, and there are many other sets of rules for Tarot Cards Games.

I’m not sure how my notes became an article. I don’t mind them being used, but they are not the best starting point. I would like the entry to be of higher quality.

This article would better servered as a general guide to the Tarot Card Games, perhaps with links-to and/or copies of different games. The Card-Game site is probably the most definitive collection of rules; and has the following link for tarot card games: http://www.pagat.com/tarot/index.html.

To add[edit]

Distinguish Italian decks:

Tarocco Piemontese -- a 78-card deck:
- used to play
  - Scarto
  - Four Handed Tarocchi
  - Mitigati
Tarcocco Siciliano - 64 card deck
- [1]
  - trumps: 1 to 20 plus the additional Miseria and Fuggitivo
  - each suit has king (re), queen (donna), cavalier (cavallo), jack (fante) ace (asso) and pip cards from 5 to 10
  - AND the 4 and ace, in only the suit of coins.
Italian Tarocco Bolognese
- 62 card deck
  - Minor Arcana consist of an ace, cards numbered from six to ten, and the four classic royal suits
  - The Major Arcana are similar to the ones in the Tarot of Marseilles.
- used to play
  - Ottocento
  - Terziglio
  - Millone
  - Mattazza

Fotograph infobox[edit]

Hi all, the foto in the infobox shows austrian Tarock-cards, which are quite different from italian cards. Therefore I shall remove them. Best greetings from Vienna -- 85.127.105.129 (talk) 20:40, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Partita[edit]

I have removed references to Partita to avoid confusion. Partita can refer to many tarocchi games played in Piedmont or Bologna. It originated in Bologna where it had several incarnations but these games aren't really played anymore. Piemontese Partita survives and its rules are simpler than tarocchini. Naturally, in Piedmont they play it with the Tarocco Piemontese but treat the lower trumps as equals like the moors of Tarocco Bolognese and remove six pip cards from each suit for a total of 54 cards. Piemontese Partita rules can be found here and here.--Countakeshi (talk) 11:37, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
