Okay I have a rough one. Please talk me out of the Soprafino. I was inadvertently enabled an another thread. I went to sleep last night dreaming about this deck, and woke up this morning still thinking about it.
The ways I have -sort of- de-enabled myself are thus :
1. I learned on RWS, so non-scenic pips have not really been my thing. I will be making a leap to learn to read with TdM.
2. I've read it has little lamination and with three kids and a veritable herd of guinea pigs running around, I can be a little hard on my decks.
3. I am practically the queen of CGI decks, and while I realize they might have no class, I am okay with possibly being a no class kind of girl. The Soprafino seems eminently classy to me, and I am not sure that is who I am.
4. Because of having said children and guinea pigs, it might be a little pricey for me.
5. In an effort to de-enable myself, I bought an Ancient Italian Tarot, which I believe has the same artwork in larger form for aging eyes and less price.
I think my tarot tastes might be changing, maybe even maturing, and I would just like to laugh a little while I obsess/compulse over this deck.
And Re: the Paulina - my seven year old daughter promptly commandeered it. 'Nuff said. I can't lie, the artwork is well thought out and technically brilliant, and US Games actually got the lamination right, but the cards look so very much the same to me that it all blurs together.
