Gamilas Tarot

The Gamilas Tarot is a card game created by independent artist Yase, drawing inspiration from the popular Japanese anime series, Star Blazers / Space Battleship Yamato 2205. Despite the name "Tarot," the campaign explicitly labels it as a "Card Game - Jeu de cartes," suggesting it functions more as a collectible or a game rather than a traditional divination deck. The project successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2022, raising $653 from 20 backers.

The visual style, as indicated by the campaign image, features anime-inspired character art with a distinct color palette of white, gold, and muted tones. The character depicted, likely from the Gamilas race within the Star Blazers universe, is rendered in a clean, illustrative style. The use of "Gamilas" in the title further reinforces the connection to the anime's alien civilization, known for its distinctive culture and aesthetic.

Reward tiers offered the card game alongside A6 and A5 prints, with the latter being hand-drawn, highlighting the artist's illustrative skill. The campaign's brevity and focus on "card game" rather than "tarot deck" suggest a product primarily for fans of the Star Blazers franchise or collectors of anime-themed card sets. The inclusion of "Tarot" in the name might be a stylistic choice or a reference to a specific game mechanic, but it is not presented as a system for divination.

This card game is primarily for fans of the Star Blazers / Space Battleship Yamato 2205 anime series, particularly those interested in the Gamilas civilization. It also appeals to collectors of anime-themed merchandise and card games. Individuals seeking a traditional tarot deck for divination purposes should note that this product is explicitly described as a "card game" rather than a divination tool.
