set of playing cards used in tarot games and in fortune-telling or divination

Minchiate, also known as Germini or Tarocchi fiorentini (Florentine tarot), is an early 16th-century card game, originating in Florence, Italy. It is no longer widely played. The term can also refer to the special deck of 97 playing cards used in the game. The deck is similar to the conventional tarot cards, but contains an expanded suit of trumps. The game was similar to but more complex than tarocchi. The minchiate represents a Florentine variant on the original game.
