Description:
The Dark Carnival Tarot was created by Rachel Paul, a Juggalo or fan of the Insane Clown Posse hip hop duo from Detroit. The suits are Gats, Axes, Duckets and Faygos. Gats are guns (probably the term derives from the Gatling Gun), Duckets are coins, derived from Shakespeare, while Faygos are cups and this is derived from a ghetto soda pop which apparently is often sprayed over the audience during Insane Clown Posse concerts. There are apparently 57 flavours of Faygo. The book uses hip hop slang and references to the lyrics of some of the Insane Clown Posse raps.
