Description:
A tarot deck especially created for gaming. The intricate symbolism found in most tarot decks is here stripped away to the underlying fundamentals. The Majors are renamed but reflect the tarot arcana concept. Adelheid Zimmerman is a freelance designer, artist, maker, and gamer with a BFA in graphic design from the University of Iowa. She began working professionally as a graphic designer in 1998. She suggests her "personal style is influenced by Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt, Aubrey Beardsley, Jost Amman, JRR Tolkien, John Howe, Charles Vess, and Dave McKean". She has illustrated a number of books.
