Tarot del Toro

This tarot takes the traditional tarot deck and pairs it with the worlds of filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. The director himself was directly involved and it shows - the attention to detail is brilliant. Artist Tomas Hijo really brings the cards to life in his unique style and there are lots of small - and large - references to del Toro's films.The minor arcana do not have fully illustrated "number" cards in the way that some decks do, they are more in the playing card style, but all "court cards" and the whole major arcana have complete paintings. All cards are fully explained in the accompanying booklet.A great purchase - grab one while you can as they seem to be selling out even ahead of publication!

As someone who is a huge fan of Guillermo del Toro, I absolutely love this deck! I also came to tarot from reading normal playing cards, so I'm used to and like pip decks. The card stock is not the best, but it's not the worst either; it feels like it will hold up to regular handling. Onto the artwork, which is adorable and very charming! The courts and majors each depict a quirky illustration of various characters from Guillermo's movies. As mentioned already, this is a pip deck, so the rest of the minors are illustrated only by the the discs, blades, goblets and wands. For that reason, this might not be a great choice for people who are very new to tarot, but that said, if you love the deck and it calls to you, it's totally possible to learn on a pip deck. The booklet is not very detailed, but there are so many videos, websites and books out there to help you learn tarot, it's not much of an issue. To finish, the packaging is also very nice. The box is sturdy, comes with a ribbon for easy removal of the cards and is beautifully decorated. All in all, this is a gorgeous deck and a must have for Del Torro fans!

The tarot is absolutely gorgeous and well made, it is only a pity that the meaning of the cards is so shallow and even inexistent for the minor arcana. You can refer to the Internet for that, so it's still worth it.

Amazing deck but arrived with a damaged Card and some damage to the box

I ordered this off my daughters account.BENT CARDS!!It is so nice in other ways, but its like they just threw them in the box regardless of the cards condition!Lazy pips, so don't buy unless you know tarot well. I do so it doesn't bother me. The Roman Numerals are hilariously wrong! What are we to make of this! Please do something about this! And the bent cards. Never seen such trashing from a printer!SHOCKING!
