D&D Curse of Strahd Tarokka Deck

The box is fragile, but that’s to be expected. I got it for my group’s COS campaign. They seem good enough and about the same fragility as other playing cards or tarot cards. As long as they aren’t folded or being ripped then they’re good enough.

I really don't understand why everyone is complaining about it not including the rule book for Prophet's Gambit. It doesn't say it does! Read the text, for the love of D&D! It clearly states right on the box which is pictured here on Amazon that it includes 54 Tarokka cards HANDY FOR A TREK THROUGH BAROVIA, AS WELL AS PROPHET'S GAMBIT, a card game for 3-5 players. It doesn't say anything about including rules for a trek through Barovia nor Prophet's Gambit. It's really not that complicated of a sentence to understand. 54 cards handy for a couple different things. That's all. They're beautiful cards and a nice addition for using with Curse of Strahd (Also not included, just FYI). There's no manufacturing defect in regards to instructions.

All cards are undamaged, shiny, and using the official art. Packaging was undamaged too! Perfect for my upcoming Curse of Strahd game (and possibly Prophet’s Gambit) in the future. It does NOT come with instructions for the tarokka reading or prophet’s gambit (the product does NOT claim to include it, and the card game rules can be looked up easily for those reviewers who were complaining). 10/10 product!

Pros: Nice noir-y spooky black and white art that reminds me of Tony DiTerlizzi's art for The Spider And The Fly a bit! There's four suits (swords, stars, coins, glyphs) and every card is a different thing, usually a type of a person. So that's 54 bits of art. Each suite has a theme--money, magic, community leaders, warriors. There are fourteen trump cards (major arcana?) and each suite has nine number cards and a trump. The cards are basically the same size as regular playing cards, and nice and thick card, with a plastic coating. Con: The box says there's an instruction booklet but there is not. I have sent a help request to Wizards support about it though and found a scan someone made online: imgur(dot)com(slash)LIAC03p. The meanings for the Tarokka cards are located in Appendix E of Curse of Strahd, for those who want to actually use them for cartomancy. The box they come in is also way too big, but it cuts down well and I made it into a perfectly good deck box with some scissors, a straight edge and a glue stick. Tip: These are old-fashioned cards that you need to powder with cornstarch. That's just how playing cards used to be. I learned that tip from a card magician. Put a lil cornstarch and my cards slid around just as easily as anything!

Decent product and great for my in-person CoS game! i have also used them for props in other puzzles in games.

Good condition. It all is perfect and came hoe it’s supposed to. Perfect size and many cards. Good for anyone playing D&D!

Quality cards. Thicker than I expected, not as thin and flexible as playing cards. I've seen reviews talking about misprints or poor quality, not sure what that's all about. All cards were cut perfectly with the print centered. Only possible "issue" is that they stick together when they are fresh and unused. You will want to handle them a bit before you use them if you plan on doing any sleight of hand.

Makes the Curse of Strahd much more fun to play.

Product is fine. What you get is a large box (about the size of a tarot deck) with a plastic insert holding a regular playing card sized deck.

Fue muy emocionante usarlas en la campaña de la maldición de Strahd. Si quieren una experiencia mas inmersiva, en verdad sugiero que compren estas cartas.

Impressão de ótima qualidade, veio completo muito bom. Único defeito que a embalagem é um pouco chatinha de guardar as cartas.

Cartes de très belle qualité et joliment illustrées qui agrémenteront vos soirées de D&D.

Deck does not contain needed card draw instructions. As a DM I'm using this deck for the rare occasion if a party member wants a fortune telling. Using a creative method to tell a tale. Be warned if using such a similar idea will cause a lot of prep work.
