Tarot is the name of a large family of card games that are played in many European countries. Many games of the family are usually simply called by their players, "Tarot", such as in Austria Königrufen, Zwanziger calls, nine of ten calls and Tapp Tarock and the Bavarian tarot, though this has taken only elements of the family and that includes not directly. The archetype of the Tarot originated around 1425 at the time of the early Renaissance in the Po valley, so it is one of the oldest traditional card games in the world.
