About this game

The tarot deck goes to war. The deck has 4 suits (Hearts, Bells, Stars and Doves), each with 10 numbered cards and 4 face cards (Soldier, Sailor, Pilot, Nurse - the latter two female). Each card has two or more words along each of its four sides.

Card Layout

Rules

The rules suggest laying out cards in two rows (with 8 each in the example). The first card is turned over and placed vertically, the second horizontally and so on. When the second row is begun, cards are laid first horizontally and then vertically (opposite orientation to first row). Players then try to divine a fortune by reading the words on the cards consecutively, picking one of those available on each card.
