The tarot is a long time subject of misinformation and pseudohistory, falsely linking the cards to ancient Egypt, Romani people, or Kabbalah and of baseless assertions that the cards were always intended for esoteric or divinatory purposes.

The best available evidence, however, tells us that the tarot was created for a trick taking game back in the 15th century because a clever Italian wanted to have a trump suit in a card game.
