Stranger Things Tarot Deck and Guidebook

The reviews on this definitely had me tempering my expectations and frankly, that probably only did better for this deck because I love it. I agree that Eddie as the King of Dice would have made more sense and the lack of him in any of the cards is a disappointment (Chrissy, too), but I figure that was probably lack of information from the creators and not the deck writer/artist's fault (also possibly likeness rights?). It's a disappointment, but not a dealbreaker. There are also a few other cards I might have done a bit differently (The Chariot as Steve and Robin in the Toddfather would have been more dynamic) but the guidebook descriptions tie them in great and those are minor musings, not complaints.No print errors as described by some others, though the edges of the cards are a little rough in the way they were cut - I figure this will smooth out with regular use so I just separated every card (they stuck a little because of the cutting, like it was a stamp cutter kinda thing) and got to it. I like the matte finish on them and the design.The suits seemed odd before the deck arrived and while I was reading reviews, but as soon as I was looking through the cards and started working with the deck, they made sense in their meanings and I think Scoops as Cups would have honestly come off weird once I was working with them. Scoops make far more sense as Pentacles and I love Dice as Swords and Strands as Wands - both of those fell into place for me perfectly. I was a little worried that the hype of a fandom deck would make reading with it weird, but it works great and I really vibe with the interpretations as written in the guidebook that came with it. It'll be going into my regular rotation as one of my primary decks.

This deck is cute 🥰 the artwork and colors are very nostalgic and if Stranger Things reminded you of your younger “Nancy Drew “or “5 Children and It” days then you’ll love the way the artwork pulls you into another world, one where you are free to explore life without responsibilities weighing you down. Scoops (pentacles) and spokes (cups) were a bit confusing to grasp but a lot of tarot decks have had titles changed to something else (page of cups to daughter of cups) so you’ll get over it. A bit rough around the edges but the card texture feels good. I love to collect decks, so this is a good deck for inner child work, you’ll feel adventurous again

I like the concept of the deck,the art ,and the matte finish. The cardstock was okay,and, i didnt have a problem with the backs as others have described.There were duplicate cards for II-Knight of Spokes, which I wouldn't have minded,except that there was no O The Fool card.I hope that the item that they send me in exchange will be complete.Update: The replacement is here,complete and with perfect backs and printing.

To start with, a decent guidebook. The card stock is a bit thick..similar to the labyrinth deck, but should last well. Not one for riffle shuffling. I heard about printing issues and missing cards, I checked them all and found one print issue (see pic). All cards accounted for.This is not as pippy as the labyrinth deck. And at first glance they seem a bit generic..but they actually do have clues in them if you look at them closely. The book also tells you how it relates.Now... No Eddie .. they have other minor characters from 3 and 4, they deserved their own cards.. as the dm, king of dice Eddie would have made more sense than Victor Creel. .I was also worried about the suits.. as really.. they are odd, once again the book explains their reasoning... From a pure ease of use stand point scoops really should be cups.. I get it..it was a job, but bicycle spokes do not make me think of cups. Overall though.. once I get the suits down I may well use this one regularly.. I can overlook the one printing error.

This deck is a must-have. If you are unsure about getting this deck, it is absolutely worth the money. The cards feel unique, they're not too thin and not too thick, each card is a very beautiful and detailed rendition of the traditional Tarot deck with a stranger things twist. This deck has unique personality and is unlike any others. I have used this for a reading and I absolutely adore this deck, definitely recommend it!

I got this for my niece because I myself do tarot as a hobby and that one day sparked an interest in tarot in my niece. I got this deck because she loves stranger things. I love the major cards, it’s the minor cards I have issue with. Not good for intuitive readings.
