The Refine and Play Tarot Deck

The Refine and Play Tarot Deck is a 78-card set created by graphic designer Matt Green, conceived with the unique intention of serving as both a functional tarot deck and a standard deck of playing cards. This dual functionality is central to its design, aiming to bridge the gap between divination and recreation. The deck maintains the full 78-card structure of a traditional tarot, ensuring it can be used for comprehensive readings, while also incorporating elements that allow it to be used for various card games.

Available in two sizes—poker size and a larger tarot size—the deck is printed on premium casino-quality card stock and housed in a sturdy tuck box. This emphasis on card quality suggests durability and a pleasant tactile experience, suitable for frequent shuffling and handling, whether for a tarot spread or a game of poker. The design aims for versatility, making it accessible to both tarot enthusiasts and those who appreciate a well-made deck of playing cards.

Matt Green, the creator, brings a background in graphic design and a decade of experience with tarot to this project. His goal was to create a deck that is both holistic and intuitive for tarot purposes, while also being practical for everyday card games. This approach offers a fresh perspective on how tarot decks can be integrated into daily life beyond their traditional divinatory role.

This deck is ideal for tarot readers who also enjoy traditional card games and appreciate a versatile, multi-purpose tool. It appeals to individuals seeking a functional, durable deck that can transition seamlessly between spiritual practice and casual entertainment. Its dual nature makes it suitable for those who might be new to tarot but familiar with playing cards, offering an accessible entry point.
