Curiously, Tarot did start off as a card game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot_card_games
How they went from that to spiritual is a mystery.

Actually, I did know that.
But everyone knows Go Fish is the funniest card game.

It is, yet I’ve never seen anyone actually play it.
I do imagine there must be a lot of Death cards in Tarot, given that they seem to mean anything but Death.

Just for general info, I’ll butt in and say what it’s all about. Sorry to go all factual, I developed a minor obsession with Tarot at one point! It’s got none of the mystical tarot stuff, just the usual 4 suits, except with an added court card between the jack and the queen, called the chevalier. There is also a 5th suit, called the Trump suit (you’ll never guess what it does), which is simply numbered 1 - 21. There is also a sort of wild card, called l’excuse, but generally known as The Gay Banjo Player because, well, you can probably guess what’s on the card. You play it kind of like whist but for points, not tricks.
