Learn tarot: card games
Learn all 78 tarot cards with two quick games: name the card from its image, and match the meaning to the card. Track your streak as you go.
How to learn the 78 cards
Start with the 22 Major Arcana, the big life themes. Then learn the four suits (wands for action, cups for feelings, swords for thoughts, pentacles for the material world) and how numbers build a story from ace to ten.
Why games work
Recall beats rereading. A few minutes of quick guessing each day builds the instant recognition you need during a real reading.
