These cards are closely based on the " Major Arcana " of tarot divination such as " The Fool ," but including original cards such as " Drowning in Armor " and " Law.

In addition, the tarot is distinguished by a separate 21-card trump suit and a single card known as the Fool.

The tarot depiction of the Fool includes a man ( or less often, a woman ) juggling unconcernedly or otherwise distracted, with a dog ( sometimes cat ) at his heels.

* There are 21 trump cards of the tarot deck if one does not consider The Fool to be a proper trump card.

The Joker came to be represented as a clown or court jester by the 1880s, due to its assumed name and also probably borrowing from The Fool in tarot cards ( predecessors to the French Tarot Nouveau, which depict The Fool as a lute-playing jester, were becoming popular in Europe around the same time ).

* A typical tarot deck containing the 21 trump cards, the Fool and the 56 suit cards make up 78 cards

The game of tarot is played using a 78-card tarot deck, which is composed of a numbered series of 21 trump cards ( atouts ), one Fool ( l ' excuse ), and 4 suits ( spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs ), divided into 10 numbers from 1 to 10, and then the face cards of Jack ( Valet ), Knight ( Cavalier ), Queen ( Dame ) and King ( Roi ).

This 14-card, 4-suit system is derived from the French tarot deck ; removing the 21 atouts, or trumps, from that deck while keeping the Fool card yields the 57-card French-suited deck that was re-faced to create the Rook deck.

The group was named in reference to The Fool tarot card.

Fool from Visconti-Sforza tarot deck | Visconti Tarot

" Like its predecessor, The Fool and His Money will contain many different types of logic and word puzzles that center around a story with a medieval tarot deck theme.

In the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck, the Fool is depicted as a ragged vagabond.

The Fool is titled Le Mat in the Tarot of Marseilles, and Il Matto in most Italian language tarot decks.

In the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck, the Fool wears ragged clothes and stockings without shoes, and carries a stick on his back.

In French suited tarot decks that do not use the traditional emblematic images of Italian suited decks for the suit of trumps, the Fool is typically made up as a jester or bard, reminiscent of the joker in a deck of playing cards.

In the various tarot card games such as French Tarot, Tarocchini and Tarock, the Fool has a unique role.

The tarot games are typically trick taking games ; playing the Fool card excuses the player from either following suit or playing a trump card on that trick.

In occult tarot, the Fool is usually considered part of the " major arcana ".

As such, most tarot decks originally made for game playing do not assign a number to the Fool indicating its rank in the suit of trumps ; it has none.

However, in some more modern tarot card games, specifically Austrian Tarock games, the Fool is instead played as the 22 of Trump, making it the highest trump in such games.

Arcana Force 0-The Fool, is the embodiment of this particular tarot card.

Perhaps the reputation of the Magician is derived from the Fool misunderstanding what is happening while the High Priestess ( the next card ) is looking back, thinking that the Magician is missing the point of spiritual knowledge.

* The Fool ( Tarot card ), a Tarot card

Though the inspiration for using the " jester " imagery on the joker may have derived from the Fool card, they have differing origins as stated above ; the Tarot deck has included the Fool since its invention in the 15th century while the Joker is a relatively recent ( re ) addition to the French / Anglo-American 52-card deck.

Because of the above correspondence, practitioners of cartomancy often include a Joker in the standard 52-card deck, with a meaning similar to the Fool card of Tarot.

Sometimes the two Jokers are used: one approach is to identify the " black " Joker with the Fool and the " red " Joker with " the Magician ", also known as the Juggler, a card which is somewhat similar in interpretation and is considered the first step in the " Fool's Journey ".

The only card with a special effect is the " Fool ", L ' Excuse.

All trumps rank higher than any suited card ; anyone who draws the Fool must redraw.

If the first card played in a trick is the Fool, the required suit to follow is determined by the following card.

After playing the Fool to a trick, the player who played it simply takes the Fool back, places it into their scoring pile and gives the side who took the trick an " ordinary " card ( worth a half-point ; see scoring below ) from their scoring pile.

A player is neither required to divulge the contents of his score pile, nor is he permitted to look through it except as necessary to find a half-point card to replace the Fool.

In Untouchable One Of Trumps variant, the player who has no trump except the Petit can still play, but the Petit is played like the Fool ; if it does not take the trick, it is given back to its owner in exchange for a half-point card.

Of the atouts, 21 are numbered from 1 to 21, and a non-numbered card called " Fou " (" Fool ", also called " Mat " or " L ' Excuse " in play ) has various meanings depending on the particular Tarot variant being played ( in the French game it " excuses " the player from following suit and affects scoring, while in the Italian variant it augments the value of cards captured in tricks ).

In this Mythopoetic approach, which views the Major Arcana as a journey through life taken by the character of the Fool ( the Fool being the first card, or the zero card, of the Major Arcana ), the Wheel of Fortune represents the intercession of random chance into the Fool's path.

French suited tarot cards are a modern deck used for the tarot / tarock card games commonly played in France and central Europe.
