Review: Buy this deck - I love this deck. The artwork is beautiful and keeps the Rider-Waite Tarot spirit alive. The deck is dynamic, you can “tell a story” easily with these cards. The guidebook is small but detailed enough to get started. I would encourage true beginners to just try to see what story they feel emerges from the cards in spreads. Use the book last, see what feelings the cards give you. The cards are dramatic, powerful & unique. I seldom deviate from my beloved RWS deck but this is a perfect addition to my practice. Also the cards are so smooth, amazing quality and value. Look forward to gifting a set in the future.
Review: Awesome deck! A Unique and Stylish Take on RWS Tarot - As a Rider-Waite-Smith loyalist, I was initially skeptical, but the Pulp Fiction Tarot cards truly impressed me! The artwork is modern yet thoughtfully aligned with traditional card meanings, making it both fresh and familiar. The deck itself is well-made with decent card stock, and the sturdy book-style box is a fantastic touch. I highly recommend this deck—especially for fellow RWS enthusiasts looking to expand their collection!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a reprint/knock off or original the artist/ manufacturer?  from the**
A: Hello! This is the original.

**Q: What is the card material? Are the sides of the card matte red?**
A: The sides on the cards are white. Not red matte. The card box is red matte-ish. But the cards are white on the sides. I am not sure what the card material is. They are cardboard. And they are covered with something. They seem like standard Tarot cards to me. Not flimsy and thin. But not too thick. BTW, it is a beautiful deck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quirky, Modern, and Stylish
*by R***B on January 7, 2023*

I got this deck on a whim. I love kitschy 40s/50s pulp art and was curious how this would be represented in a Tarot deck. I have to say, I love everything about this deck. The art is amazing. It is unique, fun, and very creative. There are a few continuity elements throughout the deck that I just love (e.g. the person handing the cup on the 4 of cups is the same person seeking more meaning in the 8 of Cups. The woman in the 3 of pents has all the loot in the 7 of pents). Great stuff. The holding case is a cardboard facsimile of a pulp novel. And the LWB is more like a brief journal from the creator, than an instruction manual that I appreciate. Will this be my primary deck that I reach to for readings? Probably not. that will be my TdM. But for lighthearted, fun reading, and just to admire the art this is top of the list. So glad I picked up.
