here's the rules: the usual 20Q rules apply: yes & no questions only modified for tarot forum: -base questions on the image only -NO questions involving; suits, numbers, major & minor. -you can not post another question until your last post is answered -invalid Q's will not be answered - save your CARD guess until all 20 questions have been made -please don't number your question Declaring a winner: the one who guesses correctly...... ~ in the event that everyone seems stumped; we can, a) go for 20 more Q's b) who ever guesses the card that sits closest to the mystery card in the deck. So.....new game...ready.......set........go! this card comes from the Legends- Arthurian deck~ GOOD LUCK!

is the card one of the ones shown on Aeclectic by Solandia? ie: check here [[size=1]I thought this was a fair question, given it is an aeclectic game - but if you don't think so, than just dismiss the question :)[/size]] edited to fix link.

Just a quick question about the rules of the game... When you say 20 questions, is that 20 questions per person or for the whole game?

skytwig	28 Oct 2003
Also, can we post a question if someone else's question hasn't been answered yet?

lunalafey	28 Oct 2003
{question on rules- YES-you can ask a question if the others are still waiting to be answered- it's 'your' unanswered question you must wait on- that way a single individual can't just post all 20Q's right of the bat......20 Questions for the thread- not per person- everyone gets to see all 20 questions. JMD- your link does not function, there for I can not answer- the question is valid- just can't check the link.

luna: Never heard of this deck. But I'll pop in here to read the fun. Although I could ask a question, seeing as I'm here, although it won't get me anywhere. Does the card have flowers on it?

Does the card feature a female figure?

jmd	29 Oct 2003
So... so far, we have: The card is not one of the ones depicted on Aeclectic's main site; it does NOT have flowers on it; it is NOT of an indoor scene; and neither does it depict a horse! Does the card depict more than one person?

Does the card feature water?

Well- that did not take too long! you guy's where supposed to wait for all 20 questions, but since the correct card has been guessed- WE HAVE A WINNER- good going there Mystic Zyl......

*Squinting* Where is the female figure in the Wheel? *Confused* Kiama

Mystic Zyl	30 Oct 2003
What do I win?

Mystic Zyl	30 Oct 2003
Thanks........taking my bow............ Kiama had me worried, she had me imagining the woman. Everyone asked such good questions it was easy to figure out.

I think it's a man... Look closely and you will see the moustache. Also, there is a tradition that going around the Wheel is the same person at different stages in their life. In this one, we have a king (presumably King Arthur?) ruling at the top. ("I am reigning".) We have a man falling down the right-hands side towards doom and monsters. ("I have reigned".) We have a man being eaten by monsters at the very bottom ("Aaaagh! Nooo!") And finally, for consistency, it must be a man climbing up the left-hand side of the wheel ("I will reign".) Indeed the book that accompanies the deck also says it is a man: "Past experience with the downturn of the wheel can shake our confidence, leaving psychological wounds, particularly insecurity and mistrust of fortune. These fears inhibit our efforts to climb, as represented by the creature who claws at the rising man." (Keeper of Words, p.69) There's really no point in me saying any of that, but I just thought I'd do it for the hell of it. ;) Kiama

lunalafey	31 Oct 2003
For the hell of it? I'd say not......for I just learned something.....well, re-learned. I have read the book in bits & pieces, not all is retained.but thanks to you, I'll never forget it now.

Mystic Zyl	31 Oct 2003
Oh my that figure still looks like a lady, I guess it is a gender bender.
