I didn’t realise it was “French” tarot, we just call it tarot, lol. That said it was more a game my parents would play, I don’t really know the rules myself.
In the US (And I think most English speaking countries??) “tarot” generally refers to the divination cards people use to do readings about the future and such. “French Tarot” is the trick taking card game using the 78 card deck with the standard (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) suits+the trump suit. That said, most people in the US would have no idea what I meant if I mentioned french tarot, and would just assume I was talking about the divination cards. Lol
It’s honestly become my favorite card game, though I’ve really only just started getting into it.
It’s so worth getting into it you’ve got people to play with. Online play is a thing, too, but the rules are complicated enough that I had to play with physical cards a few times to really get it. I also slightly updated the rules on it and created a formula for the calculator to make it easier for folks. I didn’t so much change the rules for our home game, but updated the scoring. Normal french tarot using half point that made the math difficult for some people, so I moved the decimal and 4.5 became 45, shit like that
