Go where the past and future converge, into a world of roaring engines and gleaming metal, top hats and corseted silk gowns ...where alternate histories play out in a film reel of fantasy, adventure, and magic. A wildly popular genre that is gaining momentum, steampunk - an eclectic literary, visual, and cultural trend - is exquisitely fashioned in this stunning new tarot deck. Retooling the gears of the Rider-Waite tradition with a steampunk edge, the artwork evokes our complex relationship with science and technology. The included manual provides tips, original spreads, and guidance in card interpretation.

You know when you get a buzz before you open the box?..Well the box itself was a surprise, I didn't expect them to be in one for a start as I had got them from the market place. The book was also a surprise, not a small skimpy thing..but a full sized detailed pictured one. I have given them 5 stars because I felt mean doing anything else but..and yes there is one...the cards themselves although beautiful are SOOO flimsy and have no protective covering and even just looking through them left fingerprints. I thought I'd found my new fave deck..but wouldn't like to guess what would happen if used regularly. Come on printers..redo in a better quality card and they would be perfect.

I could find this a really usable tarot pack. The pictures are great, and I found reading them very natural. Unfortunately, given the flimsy nature of the cards, I'm scared to use them. One good shuffle and I very much fear the whole pack will be ruined.
The accompanying book is very good.
All in all, not really worth the price. Yes, the cards look great; yes, they would work very well. Yes, the book is clear and informative. But the cards themselves aren't strong enough to use. I dread to think how easily they will be damaged.
Very disappointing.

I have been using these cards for readings for a few weeks now, I was doing a reading for someone who half way through the reading said there are a lot of ladies in this deck.
Upon closer inspection mast of the figures who look male could almost certainly be ladies.
I thought it was great that there was a deck that lesbians could relate to, there are several gay decks like the Brotherhood tarot, Gay tarot and Cosmic tribe tarot but they seem to have a very male focus, so to have a deck that is very female is cool.
The imagery is great, I like the dark tones of the cards, much like the Anna K deck, but I find this makes the splashes of light and colour stand out to give more meaning in readings.
Not really looked at the book as I tend to be very intuitive in my readings, but from a flick through it looked thorough.

I bought this more for the steampunk than the tarot. I shuffle it looking for inspiration in my writing. Nevertheless, I know a little of the tarot from way back and I'd say that both the cards and the book that explains them are excellent for readings, for those that like that sort of thing. I like the cards so much that I wish they were a bit larger and more substantial. They are however a good size for handing.

This has to be my new favourite deck. It is beautifully illustrated and although the cards are very similar to the Rider-Waite deck, the slight differences do the deck justice. The accompanying manual is extremely well written. A very satisfied customer.

These cards when I received them were not quite as attractive as I'd expected they might be from the few samples online that I'd seen, but they're certainly very different from any other deck I possess - and that's not necessarily a negative point!
This is an interesting deck - not least because of the artwork, but also there is included a very thick and substantial book that goes into great depth about the deck and also the relevant card meanings. I think the interpretations of the cards (according to the book) you will find very different from those of traditional tarot indeed! Again; that's not necessarily a bad thing, but when I did myself a reading using the Celtic cross spread, I used the book supplied for the immediate interpretations first - then I referred to a traditional tarot book, and of course there was quite a marked difference, though some similarities were retained.
I'm giving this deck a high rating of four stars, as though I was a little disappointed with the imagery, they do deserve a good rate for the book alone which is far more substantial and in-depth than you generally get with your average tarot deck.

The art work is amazing and the cards are really good to get in to and ive done some really good readings with them. Its a good deck to use if your client is put off by the traditional devil or hanged man images and for any steam punk fan it should be a must on your shopping list even if you have never used tarot. I think a steam punk newcomer to tarot could use this deck easily enough.

An excellent design, well presented, I'm currently re reading the book.
My biggest reservation is finding the time to design a box to do it justice :)
