===French-suited decks===
French-suited tarot decks are known as the oldest decks used for the Tarot. With the exception of novelty decks, French-suited tarot cards are almost exclusively used for [[card games]]. The earliest French-suited tarot decks were made by the de Poilly family of engravers, beginning with a [[Minchiate]] deck by [[François de Poilly]] in the late 1650s. Aside from these early outliers, the first generation of French-suited tarots depicted scenes of animals on the trumps and were thus called "[[Tiertarock]]" (''Tier'' being German for "animal") appeared around 1740. Around 1800, a greater variety of decks were produced, mostly with [[genre art]] or [[veduta]]. The German states used to produce a variety of 78-card tarot packs using Italian suits, but later switching to French suited cards; some were imported to France. There remain only two French-suited patterns of [[Cego]] packs - the Cego Adler pack manufactured by [[ASS Altenburger]] and one with genre scenes by [[F.X. Schmid]], which may reflect the mainstream German cards of the 19th century. Current French-suited tarot decks come in these patterns:

* {{Lang|de|[[Industrie und Glück]]}} – the ''Industrie und Glück'' ("Diligence and Fortune"{{efn|"Diligence and Fortune" is the contemporary meaning of the phrase ''Industrie und Glück''. See, for example, Placardi, Carl (1766). ''Das Kaiserliche Sprach- und Wörterbuch'', Cölln am Rhein: Metternich, pp. 72 and 83.}}) genre art tarock deck of Central Europe uses Roman numerals for the trumps. It is sold with 54 cards; the 5 to 10 of the red suits and the 1 to 6 of the black suits are removed. There are 3 patterns – Types A, B and C – of which Type C has become the standard, whereas Types A and B appear in limited editions or specials.
*''[[Tarot Nouveau]]'' – also called the ''Tarot Bourgeois'' – has a 78-card pack. It is commonly used for tarot games in France and for [[Danish Tarok]] in Denmark. It is also sometimes used in Germany to play [[Cego]]. Its genre art trumps use Arabic numerals in corner indices.
* ''[[Adler-Cego]]'' – this is an animal tarot that is used in the [[Rhine Rift Valley|Upper Rhine valley]] and neighbouring mountain regions such as the [[Black Forest]] or the [[Vosges]] It has 54 cards organized in the same fashion as the ''Industrie und Glück'' packs. Its trumps use Arabic numerals but within centered indices.
* ''[[Black Forest Cego|Schmid-Cego]]'' - this pack by [[F.X. Schmid]] is of the [[Bourgeois Tarot]] type and has [[genre scene]]s similar to those of the ''Tarot Nouveau'', but the Arabic numerals are centred as in the Adler-Cego pack.
