Learn French Tarot, one deal at a time.
Start with the cards and rules, watch an example, then try it yourself. Lessons and guided games help you understand your choices before you play on your own.
Why we built it
French Tarot is hard to learn alone.
Knowing the rules does not always tell you which card to play. Donne du Jour connects each rule to a situation at the table, then lets you try the decision yourself.
Donne du Jour is the learning path we wished already existed. It introduces one idea at a time, shows it in a real deal, lets you try the decision yourself, and then carries that understanding into guided and independent play.
Our first learning app
Donne du Jour is made by Quietmill, an independent UK studio. We welcome feedback from Tarot players, clubs and teachers.
One connected course
From explanation to a real table.
Each part has a job. The course does not stop at a rules page and hope you can make the leap alone.
Lessons and demonstrations
Learn the cards, bids and scoring, then watch how the rules apply as each card is played.
Quizzes and decision exercises
Choose an answer or a card, then read the explanation behind the choice.
Guided deals
Play a full deal with help at key decisions and explanations when you make a mistake.
Practice games
Play full deals against computer opponents, with a limited number of hints when you need help.
Daily Deal
Play the same four-player deal as everyone else each day and compare your score.
English and French
Learn and play in English or French. The lessons introduce the terms used at a French Tarot table.
Teach the decision
Understand why a card works here.
See who led the trick, which cards you can play and what each choice could change. The explanation shows you why a move helps, while leaving room for what you cannot yet know about the other hands.

Help us improve how we teach Tarot.
