Tarot to Go! by Rosalind Simmons & Mary Hanson-Roberts

, 7 May 2021

 GOOD THINGS
> Fully portable.
> Light deck.
> Perfect for small hands and for children.
> Lovely illustrations overall. The back is really pretty and doesn't give away whether the card is coming upright or reverse.
> Deck shuffles well overall.
> Very good quality full-color guidebook with good basic content. Perhaps I like the booklet more than the deck. 
>  Good quality printing overall
> Multilingual wording on the cards: English, Spanish, Italian, French and German.  
> Compact well-thought packaging
> It makes a nice inexpensive lovely gift.
 

NOT SO GOOD
> Quality of cardboard is deficient.It is more thick paper than cardboard so the cards start deteriorating after a few shuffles, especially the edges.
> Because the cardboard is so thin, cards tend to stick to each other.  
> I Illustrations are wonderful but have a strong child-like vibe, so it might suit children and teens but not some adults, me in this case. Also, the proportions of the the heads in those  characters depicted full body aren't natural. I know this is an artistic license, but this exacerbates the child-like vibe of the deck and it's not my cup of tea. .
> No racial diversity, so that might not resonate with some people.
>  Deck has a strong dominant masculine energy overall.
