How to Adapt a Card Deck to Play French Tarot

French Tarot is a trick-taking card game that is played with a specialized deck of cards. If you want to adapt a regular deck of cards to play French Tarot, here are the steps you can follow:

1. Remove all the cards from the deck except for the 22 Major Arcana cards (The Fool, The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, The Hermit, The Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgment, and The World).

2. Remove the cards numbered from 2 to 5 of each suit.

3. Keep only the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10 of each suit.

4. Assign point values to each card as follows:

   - The Fool: 5 points
   - The Magician: 1 point
   - The High Priestess: 2 points
   - The Empress: 3 points
   - The Emperor: 4 points
   - The Hierophant: 5 points
   - The Lovers: 2 points
   - The Chariot: 3 points
   - Strength: 4 points
   - The Hermit: 1 point
   - The Wheel of Fortune: 2 points
   - Justice: 3 points
   - The Hanged Man: 4 points
   - Death: 5 points
   - Temperance: 1 point
   - The Devil: 2 points
   - The Tower: 3 points
   - The Star: 4 points
   - The Moon: 1 point
   - The Sun: 2 points
   - Judgment: 3 points
   - The World: 4 points

5. Shuffle the deck and deal the cards to the players according to the rules of French Tarot.

6. Play the game according to the standard rules of French Tarot.

Note: It's important to note that while you can use a regular deck of cards to play French Tarot, it may not be as enjoyable as playing with a specialized deck. The symbolism and artwork on the Tarot cards are an important part of the game's aesthetic and can enhance the overall experience.
