Created by Alina Pete, Layn Myhre, and Robert Kendzie, Twilight Arcana is a fantasy card game inspired by Tarot, and based on the children’s game ‘Sleeping Queens’. It involves Tarot-sized cards that can be used as both part of the game, and as a stand-alone Tarot deck.
Take a look at the video below, and/or visit the Twilight Arcana Kickstarter page to see some of the cards, and to learn more about the project.
Illustrated by Michael Eaton, the Black Power Tarot is a fresh take on the Major Arcana of the Marseille deck, replacing the traditional images with black activists, comedians, musicians, and other important public figures.
For instance, Tina Turner is Strength, Richard Pryor is the Fool, and Sun Ra is, of course, the Sun.
King Khan came up with the idea for the deck, while Jodorowsky supervised the production and design.
Using only one form (the circle), the four elements, and six basic colours, Michael Bridge-Dickson has designed a beautiful deck. It’s simple and contemporary in design, while maintaining the traditional concepts of the Marseille tradition.

Having come up with the images for his new deck in the midst of a fever, it’s no wonder Eric Soto’s Soto Tarot is different than most. It’s non-traditional to say the least, but the colours are gorgeous and the designs quite evocative.

I’m a big fan of collaborative Tarot decks, and the new 78 Tarot Nautical is no exception. Curated by Kayti Welsh, and created by 78 different artists from around the world, this water themed deck looks great.
