The original tarot card decks developed in the 15th century were used in various corners of Europe for card games. Examples of this include tarocchini in Italy, tarot in France, and Konigrufen in Austria. Over the course of time, the decks became popular in divination and variations in the designs of the cards were developed for those who used the cards for occult purposes.
