Dreaming Way Tarot (Upcoming U.S. Games Deck)

I don't know if anyone follows U.S. Games' Facebook page, but they have a few pictures up from an upcoming tarot deck:

The Lovers - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...44005308504.108354.85599053504&type=3&theater

My impressions: I really like the High Priestess and the Wheel of Fortune, less thrilled with the World and the Lovers--that couple does NOT look thrilled that they're paired up! (The angel/fairy has a very "Work with me, here...." kind of face, IMHO.

I like the style of art work, but I'm not sure about the images. And all I can think with the Wheel of Fortune is that she's carrying awfully high...

Lovely artwork but...

not a reader for me. If I were a collector, I might get it, but since I only get decks I want to read with, not likely. Thank you for bringing this deck to our attention though, HighPriestess. I don't really go on FB, not a member. I am surprised US GAMES doesn't have an UPCOMING DECKS on their own site. Would be easier. The only time I go into FB is when someone brings a link to my attention like this. US GAMES IS my favorite US publisher, so glad to see what's coming around the bend from them! I have emailed them asking if they were considering doing an UPCOMING DECKS on their own site.

I think that "wheel" might be the Empress....

And it could also show a loose sweater.

Ditto.

I also think I may have finally hit the wall for buying new decks for now. I can happily wait for my pre-orders and get to know what I have utilizing the Deck of the Week thread.

Of course there is always later...;-)

Not to my taste at all, but it's always nice to get a peek at new decks.

I'm pretty sure it's the Wheel of Fortune. They had a competition to see who could guess which cards are which and that one was the Wheel of Fortune.

I feel like I'm getting old; whenever I look at new decks, everything feels like it's aimed at teenage girls.

not my style of deck...not so keen on little girls in stockings ;p Something about the World really put me off as well. Funny how you either love a deck or you don't, seems there are no halfway measures with Tarot, imo.

But hey I am not a collector. So my opinion does not count really. Loved the earlier comment by High Priestess about the Lover's card - the Lovers are currently in couples counselling lol! And also, High Priestess, thanks for sharing the information. It is so hard to keep track with all the new decks coming out, especially if you don't go to Faceboook.

I saw that, but I didn't see where they said it was.... Then again - I am not on facebook

You ARE old, Leffy. Just not as old as ME

I'm right with you on that, Lefanu!

My first thought was, 'Oh, the Tarot of Public School Girls'. Something about all those knee socks gives it a real jolly-hockey-sticks vibe.
