Miniature Rider Waite Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite & Pamela Colman Smith

, 13 Jun 2021

 This is really a tiny mini deck, perfect for people with small hands or children, and you can fit it in your pocket or in a small handbag. It comes with a mini-booklet that is surprisingly good. If you want a portable RWS this does the job to perfection.   
 
US Games Systems consistently produce cards that have the perfect card stock thickness and coating, so shuffling is natural and pleasurable. This deck is another example of the house savoir faire in that regard.

ON THE FLIP SIDE
> The RWS imagery is in the public domain, so not artistic effort was put to produce this deck. Besides, the keepsake box is not especially good. This being the case, I regret not buying a similar RWS mini deck from Lo Scarabeo as the latter printing house produces better quality mini decks for a similar price.
> Perhaps because I'm used to the Radiant RWS, this deck feels a bit too pale and not as appealing.
