A 52-card playing card deck designed for both traditional games and fortune-telling, inspired by early 1900s cartomancy decks. It features custom court and pip cards with illustrations that offer upright and reverse interpretations.

About This Deck

The Caravan of SEE'ers "Cartomancer" Playing Cards is a 52-card deck created by Jennifer Kast, designed to function as both a standard playing card deck and a fortune-telling oracle. Inspired by popular cartomancy decks from the early 1900s, this deck aims to bridge the gap between recreational card games and divination practices. Each card, from the custom court figures to the pip cards, features unique illustrations intended to convey specific meanings, with interpretations provided for both upright and reverse positions.

Printed by The United States Playing Card Co. (USPCC), the deck emphasizes quality and durability, suitable for frequent use in games or readings. The campaign highlights its versatility, noting that while it comes with its own fortune-telling instructions and spreads, it can also be used with most standard tarot spreads. This dual functionality makes it appealing to a broad audience, from card players to those interested in historical divination methods.

Beyond the cards, the campaign offered a range of complementary items, including a detailed fortune-telling poster, specialized dice for cleromancy, a divination scarf, and a leather carrying bag. These accessories underscore the deck's focus on a comprehensive fortune-telling experience, positioning it as more than just a deck of cards but a complete system for divination.
