Very disappointed to see Tarot cards reduced to hocus pocus fortunetelling. In fact, Tarot cards, just like your average set of Bicycles, are, at their heart, PLAYING CARDS. Though virtually unheard of in the US, popular tarot games like French Tarot and Danish Tarok are still significantly popular in Europe. It is unfortunate that the actual history of these cards has been lost to the absolutely bull---- mysticism with which they are now commonly associated. As an example, just check out a Tarot Nouveau deck. Regular suits, and then a set of 21 trumps; no death, high priestess or whatever else the heck in sight.

Seems odd that you didn't even mention the -trick- games, like whist, hearts, spades, bridge, etc. There was a time, I think, where they were the dominant card game in the US. I know contract bridge is basically only played by old people, now, but it really is one of the greatest card games of all time.

My favorite GAME was born in 2003.
Wait, you thought I meant the arrival of Pokemon in the US?
WRONG. COMMAND AND CONQUER - GENERALS AND COMMAND AND CONQUER - GENERALS ZER HOUR.
Look it up. Its an RTS: )

I like how they threw in the more spiritual/divinatory significance of Tarot cards. Regardless of your personal stance on such things, I appreciate anyone who doesn't make fun of and further ostracize such groups. :)

Interesting factoid: Wizards of the Coast didn't have a lot of confidence in Magic: The Gathering, so wanted Richard Garfield to give them a 'money maker' first, and he gave them the board game called Robo Rally.

Kind of hilarious that this series has 8 videos on the 40-year history of video games, and one video on card games which have been around for centuries.

This series is so fascinating! I didn't think I would be interested when it first came out but I'm learning a ton and it's so interesting.
