This is the 74-card Romani deck of the Buckland family of Gypsies. Based on the original tarot deck, the Romani deck evolved during times when the tarot were hard to find. The deck consists of the familiar poker deck to which the Buckland family's major arcana have been added. While a set of instructions are included, you may want to get Buckland's more comprehensive Secrets of Gypsy Fortunetelling to go with it. I have had success using the Buckland deck, and some queriers find it less intimidating than the traditional tarot.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended for beginners!, January 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Gypsy Fort. Deck (Cards)

I found this deck rather disappointing because as a new user for tarot, I found many difficulties using this deck. The explanation of each the minor arcana is very simpe (the minor arcana is using ordinary playing card like clubs, spades, hearts, diamonds) but so it's hard to remember. Eg: Aces of Heart - A love letter or pleasant news, reversed: A visit from a friend. That's all. You can imagine how I can remember and "interpret" only by that explanation.
But on the positive side, the book includes many gypsy's fortune telling not only using tarot, there's Tea Leaf reading, Fire Gazing, Dominoes, Pendulum, and lots more.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good job of making up your own stuff once again!, June 22, 1999

By far one of the best ruse's ever. Americans are not dummies??? Well I don't know about that if they actually buy all this made up trash. What a waste. You may have never had a REAL job except making up your stories and publishing them as fact, but maybe it's time.
