Much more than a popular form of fortune telling, some say that a great and ancient wisdom is hidden in the mysterious images of the Tarot deck. In some circles, they are thought to be the sole surviving "book" from the great fire that burned the libraries of ancient Egypt. Are they really hieroglyphic keys to the mysteries of life? Skeptical researchers say that is all just romantic delusion. They say that Tarot cards originated in northern Italy during the early 15th century and were used to play a game called 'triumphs', similar to bridge. Recent research shows that Tarot cards may indeed have a mysterious origin and may well have been intended as more than a simple game.

That is actually not entirely acurate. While Tarot also has been referred to in the context of games; there is quite a bit about the origins of Tarot that is unclear; the History Channel had a nice documentary on the subject a while back.

Give it up. The truth has been exposed! All the early references to tarot refer to them as games.
