Just got my first mini deck!

[Kamelio]

And I'm loving it! It's the Tarot of The White Cats and it so cute if one is allowed to say that about decks lol!
The images are very colourfull and it's a great size for my smallish hands. The cards are slick, but shuffles beautifully, slick, but not horribly slick like my Gilded. And such a handy size for having in my purse to bring everywhere
And I must say the cats are lovely!
So, thumbs up for mini decks!

I have 2 mini decks, the White Cats and the Harmonious Tarot. I haven't used them for readings yet, as I'm still learning with the RWS (taking a class). Taking them out once in a while to admire the beautiful artwork gives me a wonderful sense of peace and calm.

I've had a Rider Waite since I was 16. Just ordered a Mini Visconti.

I have the mini-RWS, mini-Connolly, mini-Soprafino, mini-Grimaud Marseilles. Don´t really use them. I don´t carry a handbag, so if Im going to take a deck out, it might as well be a decent sized one.

However, as someone with big hands (Druid Craft and BIG Thoth being no problem to shuffle), I consider the "pocket" versions as my minis.

The pocket AG Muller Thoth (thanks Wytchwood; it gets well used!) and the pocket Universal Waite are my "unofficial" minis. And trimmed Scarabeo decks...

I often feel tempted when I see the minis in shops, but I know I don´t use them, so de-enabling is easy now.

I should get some de-enabling on this in the future. I see the minis growing on my wishlist:
Tarot of the Gnomes, Fairy Tarot, Egyptian Tarot; and Tarot of the White Cats keeps popping on and off the list...

But I WANT them!

Is there a list of the pocket decks available somewhere?

I have 6 mini-sized decks!
www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=113186 ETA: posts #17 & 19 make a list

In order from smallest to largest:
Tiny Universal Waite Tarot (no keychain) *this one is best used to lay out the tarot constellations, etc. on a zodiac chart; not to read with*
Mini Connolly Tarot (US Games)

Witchy/Teenwitch mini (LS)
Tarot of the Renaissance mini (LS)
Fairy Tarot mini (LS)
Harmonious Tarot mini (LS)

I love small sizes! I actually play card games with those "party favor" 1.5 x 2.5-inch decks.

I'm a great believer in mini decks. They are smashing! Best thing ever invented in the world of cards. Good for handbags. And yes, I carry one. I have the good fortune of being a woman...

They are *{really* mini, like, incredibly tiny. I'm an old bird whose eyes have been well-used throughout my life, and I find it slightly difficult to read with because its so tiny and the wording along the side is in such small font. Great deck, though - you'll enjoy it. It has a terrific (in the dual sense) devil!

I've just bought myself a larger handbag, so that I can carry a couple of regular-sized decks around with me <grin>. I have my priorities straight.

As to minis, I have that same one, a couple of Rider-Waites of various stripes (and two different shrunken sizes! I didn't know they did that!), and one or two decks whose regular size is almost a mini, such as the Granny Jones Australian and the Whispering, both of which I enjoy (one of them enormously).

I'm just starting to explore the opposite end of the journey, the Giant-sized decks ...

Lol! I have a big handbag to! Now I can have one regular sized and one mini with me at all times, and still have room in there for makeup

I carry a large handbag, so I could fit in a larger deck if I wanted. I have a mini-Manga deck in there now.

In my larger satchel (overnight bag), I have the Aquarian Tarot, a mini-Art Nouveau deck, the Victorian Flower Oracle and the Wisdom of the Maya oracle.

I have a pocket Hanson-Roberts as part of the Tarot to Go set, but haven't used it yet. I suppose I could cart that in my purse.
