About This Deck
Black Magique: A Game for the Vile and Vicious is presented as a dual-purpose product: a competitive card game for 2-4 players and a functional tarot deck. The game challenges players to become the most sinister spellcaster, suggesting a theme of dark magic and mischievous rivalry. While the campaign details are brief, the core concept revolves around strategic card play within a witchy, magical setting.
The project, launched by Aclairic Ambrosio, aimed to combine the interactive element of a tabletop game with the divinatory potential of a tarot deck. This hybrid approach suggests that the cards are designed with both game mechanics and symbolic tarot meanings in mind, allowing for versatility in how the product is used. The campaign's focus on 'stirring trouble' and 'dastardly rituals' reinforces the playful, dark fantasy tone.
Despite its intriguing premise, the Kickstarter campaign for Black Magique did not reach its funding goal. However, the concept of a game that doubles as a tarot deck remains a unique offering, appealing to those who enjoy both tabletop gaming and card-based divination, particularly with a whimsical, dark magic theme.
