I personally am not interested in tarot decks but will definitely be backing some "standard" poker decks, if available during this campaign.

The standard version of this poker deck does not include foil or gilding. I'll be using gilding for poker LTD and Tarot decks.

I will allocate at least 30-50 LTD decks as a separate reward, making this limited deck available without the requirement to order other decks. However, overall, I prefer bundles (both poker or both poker + tarot + free 5/50mm coin). You can also order the Tarot deck separately, without including the poker decks.

I just wanted to clarify. There’s no limited version of the poker deck?

Both images above are poker decks. I have not yet posted a tarot box. The light box on the left is the standard edition. The dark box is the Limited edition (foils on cards and boxes + gilding, limited to 500).

My apologies and thanks for the clarification. Can’t wait for the launch.

Ditto!

I'll try to enable this preview one day (or hours) before the Kickstarter launch.

Jokers:

I'd love when the guide book would feature the rules for the actual game of tarot but I doubt it. It's a lovely game that should get more spotlight imho. Regardless, I can tell you that I'll be in for all three versions and are happy to welcome my first montenzi produced decks in my collection.

It will be a tarot guidebook just for this deck (I am not sure about the term "rules"). The author has provided me with over 40 A4 pages of text, which will result in approximately 150-180 pages for a tarot-sized booklet.

Rules as in game rules. Yk, for the card game tarot. Like poker game rules... bridge game rules... skat game rules...
Don't tell me you don't now that tarot is a card game originally, lol.

Yes, I know! But it's too complicated to include everything in the book. Even now, it takes 150-190 pages just to provide some information about cards.

I'm really looking forward to this campaign.

Information might be a strong term for made up fairy dust but mileage may vary.
No worries at all though, I'm well aware that the unicorn sparkle thing is popular and is exactly what the main audience for tarot decks is asking for. But that's why I would love to see some producer usher them to an ancient game that is about focus, strategy and some brain jogging.
Just me speaking to the void . I'm in regardless.

Of course they do because tarot means for kickstarter.

Yes, Kickstarter actively seeks out promising projects to sustain its business and boost its earnings. Their situation is desperate, which certainly calls for extraordinary measures, such as promoting projects on their platform that are, at the very least, not considered low-quality. And, of course, I agree that the only way to save their business is through promoting tarot projects!!! It's right on target!!! Without such a projects, their business is nothing, as their survival depends on them!!! So, they are giving it away to everyone. One of the opportunities is, of course, our project. If it fails, Kickstarter will have to shut down in the near future. 1000%

Im just wondering what the cards said for the future of KS when they were dealt?

Decreasing moon when the project launches so the Chariot was a great pull for a strong start.

I need that ten of swords as an art print so badly.

I usually don’t collect tarot but this artwork is outstanding. Can’t pass it up.

Thank you! Most likely, we will offer some prints, although not immediately. This is likely to happen by the end of the campaign or afterward. We also have a few additional ideas.

I will wait patiently for launch. So much of the artwork is spectacular but I am drawn to that card. Going to need a print if it is available for sure.

Wandering if EU friendly shipping will be an option? Who will be the fulfilment partners?
