Description

78 cards plus a LWB in a standard cardboard tuck box.

Cards measure 11.3 cm tall x 6.3 cm tall.

The card stock is semi-flexible, with a flat matte finish.

Determining the publisher of this deck is a challenge -- the box and LWB make clear that the deck was printed by Angel Co, LTD in Japan. The box states that the deck was distributed by U.S. Games, whereas the LWB states that the deck was published by U.S. Games.

Therefore, I'm listing both companies as publishers.

Card backs are reversible.

Justice is 8 and Strength is 11.

The minors are beautifully illustrated, but not scenic.

Suits are Cups, Pentacles, Wands, and Swords. Courts are Page, Knight, Queen, and King.

Note: The LWB with this deck is thorough and detailed by current standards -- it was written by Stuart Kaplan.
