Should Tarot cards be sold in the USA for playing actual card games?

In European countries such as France, there are Tarot cards sold to play actual card games similar to Spades and Bridge. According to most historians, Tarot cards were originally intended for card games and not for divination. However in countries such as the US, Tarot cards are only sold for fortune telling purposes and most Americans only associate Tarot with divination. Do you believe this situation should change? Would you play actual card games with Tarot? Should Tarot publishers supply game rules with Tarot decks?

Should Tarot cards be sold in the USA for playing actual card games?
As a fan of card games, I agree with you. I have never played these games with tarot cards...perhaps someone could write a computer game baed on them...it sounds like it would be fun!
Reply:First there has to be a market for it. If it's not fun to play, people won't buy it. If people won't buy it, there's no point trying to sell it.
Reply:You'd think 'they' would have realized making it common would take away from the divination thing...but, maybe they sell more that way since it's viewed as an occult (rebellious) thing. Btw, there are soime beautiful decks out there.
Reply:If I remember right, Tarot originated as a game, and only later started to be used for divination purposes. So logically, that would make sense. Practically speaking, I don't find it important enough to get worked up about. ;-)

Reply:You already can play a normal game of cards with tarot. There are four suits, ten numbered cards in each suit, and three royalty cards in each suit.
Reply:yes of course they should!
Reply:...who cares...?





There are much more important things that should change first...
Reply:"should" they?





I could care less. "Will" they?





I'm sure they would in a heartbeat if they thought they would sell.
