Just got my Alan's Tarots in the mail from Alida today. I know that most folks here use tarot cards strictly for divination, but I'm a game collector, and I'm learning some of the traditional games played with tarot cards as well. Alan's doesn't have much going for it as a divination deck—the minors are French-suited pips, and the imagery on the majors is all scrambled—but as a playing card deck it's exquisite, way better than the sharp-cornered Marseilles replica deck I picked up at a local gift shop. I can't wait to give it a spin. Here are some images for anyone who's interested (the link is to Trigono, but fellow statesiders should order from Alida—Trigono's shipping charges are outrageous).
