What does TAROC mean in Scrabble?
noun
rarehistorical
An old card game played with a deck that includes tarot trump cards, or the deck itself, especially as played historically in Italy and Austria.
Players of taroc used a pack of roughly seventy-eight cards, including the illustrated trump cards now better known from fortune telling, and the game itself was popular for trick-taking rather than divination. Regional variants of taroc developed across Italy, Austria, and neighboring countries, each with its own rules for scoring and trumps. The spelling taroc is now an older or alternative form beside the more familiar tarot and tarok.
