Description
Every city has an alleyway. Rat plagued, garbage strewn, back doors, and odd neon signs. There are people you know, people you’ve forgotten, boxes and tents, faces and hands.
What if the man inside the alley was looking at you, I mean really looking at you? And what if in that shared moment you stopped walking, stood beside him, noticed he had something in his hands. A set of cards. Strange, mismatched, worn, and rotten. And no matter how much you do or don’t believe, you still want to know. What will the cards say?
You enter the Alley.
The Alleyway Tarot is the Publishing Goblin’s newest creation. An arcane successor to Kickstarter’s most-backed tarot deck, The Alleyman’s Tarot (2021), The Alleyway Tarot is equally lore-heavy and artist-rich. Within its mysterious weathered box and beneath its weighty meaning guide (both included, of course), you’ll discover 100 cards – 24 Major Arcana, 53 Minor Arcana, and lots of bonuses. Every image is different – different from the original Alleyman’s Tarot, but also different from one another, thanks to a lovingly curated mix of existing decks, historical decks, and thoughts willed into being especially for this project. Different art styles, different moods, different takes on Rider-Waite symbolism. The Alleyway Tarot is truly a delightfully chaotic, patchwork deck, perfect for complex readings and tarot-driven TTRPGs demanding creative card interpretations.
Bonus: folks who snap up The Alleyway Tarot from Knave of Cups will also receive the Publishing Goblin’s Astrology Booster Pack, fifteen additional tarot-sized oracle cards. Use them in classic oracle fashion, or use them as inspiration building characters, worlds, and more.
