Dummett sees this as the distinguishing mark of the game he calls Grosstarock and believes that this name was not introduced until the mid-19th century. The next development of the game is first described in the 1783 edition of Das neue Königliche l'Hombre which, for the first time, records a feature whereby a player taking no tricks is able to score all the points. However, it differed from its French predecessor in having significantly fewer declarations in addition, the Fool had to be played before the last three tricks, not just before the final trick, and there was a new emphasis on the Pagat Ultimo bonus. The original game - which may be referred to as classical Taroc ( Tarocspiel or Taroc-Spiel) - was a simple, three-hander with no bidding but several card combinations, as can be seen from descriptions in the 1750s. This form of Tarot game was introduced into Germany from France around 1720, its initial terminology and mode of play being typically French.
It only survives today in Denmark where it is called Tarok.Ĭlassical Grosstarock is not related to the modern 54-card game known as Viennese Grosstarock which developed out of Zwanzigerrufen.
It was probably introduced into the southern German states around 1720 but spread rapidly into Austria and northwards as far as the Netherlands and Scandinavia. Grosstarock ( German: Großtarock) is an old three-handed card game of the Tarock family played with a full 78-card Tarot pack. Cavalier of Clubs from a Tarot Nouveau deck
