The second one is rarer but you can see it on the "Tarot de Marseille"
It's a different set of cards, in this form there called "lames" (blades) or "arcanes" (arcana)
The set is divided in 4 colors also called family: "épée" (sword), "coupe" (cup, but think of it as the same type of cup as the saint grail), "bâton" (club) and "denier" (it's an old coin)
This compose the 52 "arcanes mineurs"
In addition there also 22 "arcanes majeurs" called "atouts"
And it is usually recognize because it's the base of the Tarot use for divination
But now it's generally used to play the eponymous game of "Tarot", a very good and very old game that me and my friend played a lot at uni
Yes but also not only, we have MANY more design of tarot card, especially when considering "atouts/arcanes majeurs" as here a deck of tarot is an object of play but also an object of collection
It's also really weird because discussing a topic like this heavily impacted by where you come from. For exemple the discussion about nuclear energy cannot be the same in France, China, USA or Russia and I see almost everyone here talking the thing like the choice between Nuclear Energy or not (because it's should never be about Nuclear Energy or Renewable Energy) was the same everywhere on the planet.
So here we are, a lot of people talking to themselves instead of talking with each other, hammering their idea on the topic without even once considering that others living in others places and living in others conditions will approach the subject differently (and than it should be normal and comprehensible)
The first time I went to Spain I learned that they used a different set of playing cards ( files.catbox.moe )
Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now. ( lemmy.world ) Englisch
