The popular trick-taking card game called Tarock, which started in the 16th century, is played with this colorful 54-card deck of oversized playing cards. Descendants of central European immigrants have kept this special bidding game alive over centuries. The deck includes 22 trump cards that feature double-ended scenes. The 32 suit cards are uniquely dispersed--including King, Queen, Knight, and Page in each of the four suits, numbers 7 to 10 represented in the black suits, and numbers 1 to 4 represented in the red suits. Complete with instructions by John McLeod for 3 and 4 players.
