This review is from: Quester: The Journey of the Brave (Hardcover)

I was recommended by my Lakota shaman teacher that this is the deck that is most in tune with the Plains people and their language. This, the Quester, and the Star that Never Walks around. I use both regularly, if you want the real thing, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this deck, August 18, 2010

This review is from: Quester: The Journey of the Brave (Hardcover)

I found this deck new at the flea market Sunday and love it! I have used it several times so far and a friend used it also. We loved the art and I tried some of the layouts and they are awesome. I am very picky about decks and have two other Native American ones I don't resonate with at all but love this one! I had never seen it before and I highly recommend it!
My only issue and I can live with it is that the cards are a bit bulky for my hands and not easy to shuffle.

This review is from: Quester: The Journey of the Brave (Hardcover)

I don't liike to give negative reviews for things but this deck takes the cake. I have seen many many native american decks which are questionable but all pale in comparrison to this one. The deck simply has no feeling to it. Its as though someone took a bunch of pictures of native peoples, and I dont mean authentic medicine people, I mean pictures of supposed shamans in full head dress, you know the typical hollywood indian....well its like someone took pictures of those and then a bunch of animals and created a deck. I have to say, hats off the the creator of this thing for comming up with a way to pawn people out of their money cause anyone who buys this is only gonna get one thing out of it, being riped off.
