Industrie und Glück (German for 'Industry and Luck') is a pattern of French playing cards used to play tarock.
Description
The name originates from an inscription found on the second trump card.
This deck was developed during the nineteenth century in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
After the collapse of the empire in World War I, it remained the most widely used tarot deck in Central Europe and can be found throughout the former parts of the empire.
Though not designed for cartomancy, these cards were used in Argentine fortune telling decks in the mid-20th century.
