I think my interest in tarot became an unhealthy obsession. But I don't know what to really do with all my cards? A lot of them were given to me as gifts so I refuse to toss them away.

I feel overwhelmed with tarot. :(

Most of my 'tarot' cards are actually just poker cards. Maybe I can learn to play solitaire with them?

I see them more as a fun gimmick with some nice art than things that actually work. If there are some pieces you want to keep, that's fine. If you want to get rid of some, than that's fine too.

Well I don't want to get rid of them, like I said many of them were gifts given to me and that would be pretty mean.

I do like the artwork on them though. Most of my "tarot" cards are really just poker cards (yes you can use ordinary poker cards in place of tarot). Maybe ill keep them and teach myself to play solitaire?

Yeah, I just gotta research how to play the game. I wonder if there are other one-player card games I could learn too?

You could frame the pretty ones and make a nice display.Some of the art on them is beautiful.
Maybe make one that symbolizes something to you.

The good news is that every desk top computer has a built in solitaire card game.

The bad news is that every desk top computer has a built in solitaire card game. So if you get hooked on it you dont need to use the physical cards.

Find Hoyle's book of card games if you wanna learn more about card games.
