Swiss Tarot refers to the tradition of trick-taking tarot card games played in Switzerland using a tarot deck of numbered trump cards alongside standard suited cards. As with other national tarot card game traditions, players use the trumps to win tricks and score points based on the value of captured cards, with rules and deck composition varying somewhat by region and club. The games form part of the broader European tradition of tarot card games that developed from the tarot decks first used for trick-taking in fifteenth-century Italy.
