now, if you so happen to have 4 players & a deck of tarot cards, you can play this game, which is played in partnerships. - a bit like whist played with tarot cards
CARD POINTS
kings, 1, 21, fool ( honours)--5
queens-----------------------4
cavaliers---------------------3
jacks-------------------------2
deal 19 to each player, giving the remaining 3 to the dealer.
now. dealer puts 3 good cards fron his hand ( excluding the honours, otherwise it is too easy) & puts them aside. theese will count to the dealer's tricks.
play as in scarto. the points are scored by dividing the number of cards by three, double that figure, & subtract the total value of the aforesaid cards from that figure.
(if you are interested in formulas, here is it
(2n/3)-x
where n is the number of cards, & x is the number of points they score).
2 odd 1-point cards score 1, any less, nothing
by this method, there are 78 points in the pack, so you need 39> to win
game ends once everyone has dealt
