Before working on this, my only knowledge about tarot was the pop culture stuff, but it turned out that this project encompassed many of my major interests: Illustration, history, research, and of course, gaming. French Tarot is the basis for a family of playing card games that developed in the 15th century but are mostly only known outside of English-speaking countries, where the standard Poker decks are dominant. The Tarot deck differs structurally from the Poker-style ones in having an additional face card in each suit, and a fifth, larger suit of trumps and an individual, traditionally suit-less card.

The concept behind this deck was to incorporate the cool old historical sensibilities and imagery from the centuries-old decks with modern gaming and design, to create a new deck that was faithful to the original, featuring the traditional oversized 2.75x4.75" tarot format.

Currently, the deck contains rules for French Tarot (the original in the family of trick-taking card games, 3-5 player), Baronetti (an introductory 2 player version), and rules for using the deck as a 5-suited Poker deck, but we're planning on adding other games as we hit stretch goals.

We've improved the cards to linen coating, replaced the tuck flap boxes with heavier land & top ones, and illustrated the honorary 79th tarot card, of Simpsons fame:

Our bags will be nicer and we're now offering prints. Also, probably more important to gamers, we're now able to print a booklet of game rules to go with our deck, and have dramatically expanded our PDF of additional games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/606768/7071085.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/606768/7071085.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/606768/7074327.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/606768/7074327.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/606768/7079464.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/606768/7079464.page GMT
Also, we hit another print, and have changed some of the remaining stretch goals around, which we'll be talking about later today.
