Excerpt from Catalogue of the Collection of Playing Cards Bequeathed to the Trustees of the British Museum by the Late Lady Charlotte SchreiberThe tarocchi game is of a complicated character and played. In a variety of ways, but in every case the tarots constitute a permanent suit of trumps and take all cards of the ordinary suits. They also vary in value amongst themselves, the higher numbers taking the lower. Three of them, 11 Mondo, II Bagatto, and Matto, which in the modern game are called Matadors, have special powers, and with the four Kings of the other suits constitute the seven honours of the pack.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
