Deck of Cards

This deck consists of 78 velum tarot cards. Better sets have painted panels and a small cloth bag or wooden carrying case. A deck consists of four suites, usually shields, swords, cups, and clubs, ranked from 1 to 10, with a Squire, Knight, Queen, and King. In addition, there are 22 major arcana cards including the Idiot, the Magister, the Huntress, the Sea, the Emperor, the Priest, the Lovers, War, Justice, the Hierophant, the Wheel of Fate, Strength, the Raven, Morr, Temperance, the Ruinous Powers, the Tower, the Star, Mannslieb, the Sun, Verena, and the World. There are variations among the major arcana cards, some subtle, some significant, individual artists substituting images and characters as appropriate to the deck. People play games with these cards, though a few, especially the Gypsies of Sylvania, profess the cards hold the power to predict the future. Prevalent card games include an element of gambling, such as Fareo, Whist, Laggard and Pig Jigger.
