Do you use 22 cards for tarot cards? What are the remaining cards for?

Tarot cards consist of 22 big Akana cards and 56 small Akana cards. Generally speaking, a simple card array only needs 22 large Akanaka cards (or some of them), but if you encounter a complex card array, you need to join small Akanaka cards for divination.
