Tarot is a deck of cards divided into 2 sets, Major and Minor Arcana. The art of Tarot reading is a skill pretty quickly learned, but takes years to finesse. while some use Tarot decks for recreational fun, others believe that the cards can actually give you insight to some of the concerns or questions you have about your future.
When using tarot cards to determine what your future may hold, which cards come out, and the direction they are facing indicate what type of events will occur. This is where understanding the multiple layers of meaning each card can have becomes necessary for the fortune teller.

IDW Games is a division of IDW Publishing. As a whole, IDW has 20 years in the industry publishing comics, books, board and card games. IDW Games has successfully Kickstarted 9 campaigns and has already fulfilled 8 of those campaigns. Our only outstanding campaign is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, which is estimated to deliver in December.
While IDW has published every book in The Beauty of Horror catalog, any product that is designed to be colored by the end user posses a few additional quality checks than an average printed product. We need time to check the quality of the uncoated paper and make sure the stock is resistant to wear and tear, while also being easily colored. Since this is the first color-it-yourself card deck we’ve made, there’s a chance that the Q.A. process may take longer than we’re currently estimating. However, our long history with publishing and games manufacturing leave us confident that we will delivery the product no matter what Q.A. hurdles we have to jump along the way.
