- I finally have this KickStarter deck by Louis Art in my hands! Did you also back this deck? What's the illustrated book like, for those of you who received this add-on?

wow that came fast! I didn't back the Kickstarter as I wanted to see actual walkthroughs, but I'm definitely going to look more closely at this deck. It is SO cute.
I do think it's cute aggression 😂😺
I backed this deck, too, and did the add-ons. The illustrated guide does not say anything about ANYTHING in the cards. They show a chunky guidebook in the Kickstarter campaign. That is not what the guide looks like in real life and print. It is pretty, but the card is the whole page and then there is a line for meaning and reverse. That is it. The cards were supposed to be 300gsm, from what I remember, but is 350gsm. My favorite is 320 and linen. I cannot shuffle and bridge either, but it isn't a deal breaker for use. I have no idea why I was originally attracted to this deck, but I do love the art, and there is something about it that I think is lovely. Some of the cats are super expressive and tickle me. I don't care for the 8 of Wands and no movement. There are two artists. One in the UK and one in Hong Kong. The bag and tarot cloth are very well done and of good quality. I really enjoyed your walkthrough and our thoughts are super similar.
I remember the cardstock going to be linen and thinner. Ugh. I don't purchase the thicker stuff because I can't riffle it. I didn't know they can change those important details. Hope I still reach for it. It's great art. I got the add ones so I'll still probably love it all..
Hi Jaime! This info is very helpful! That sucks about the guidebook though. And I really wish the card stock were more flexy. Thanks so much for stopping by 🩷
@@1976mcfarlane Ugh, I wonder why they didn't keep to their original plan with the card stock. Linen would've been awesome😭
Oh you got yours already!! Mine is on the way but not here yet…and I think I got the book and the bag? I was hoping the book would have more guidebooky type info but it sounds from other comments like that’s not the case which makes me kind of regret shelling out for it. 😒 After watching this walkthrough I’m happy that the difference between the two different artists wasn’t jarring to me…normally I’m not a collab deck person but since it’s only two artists and their styles are similar ENOUGH I think I’m ok with it. But I’ll see when I have it in my hands of course. 😺 I agree that I wish the Five of Wands was less static (and I also wish all the knights had been on horses) but the Eight of Wands didn’t bother me, I think because it looked like the cat was not at ALL expecting what was about to come at it. 😸 Overall I really love a lot of the artwork!!
I do think that the discrepancy in art styles will be something I can easily get over when I begin using the deck (hope I haven't jinxed myself 😅). That really is disappointing about the guidebook though 😕
Mine arrived yesterday. It was clear from the campaign details that the artists knows nothing about tarot. I backed it for collecting purposes only because it's so cute and I dont have a cat themed deck haha. The deck would still be usable for experienced readers.
I agree that experienced readers could still use the deck despite the artists' lack of tarot knowledge. I'm also fine with keeping it solely for collection purposes haha 😆 Thanks so much for stopping by!
Nice palette, Nice illustrations. Perhaps for cat fanciers only.
Yep, I do think people who collect cat decks would quite enjoy this one!
It’s sooooo cute Juli I had to have it I love how they are all melancholy…. I think the 5 of wands is funny they are just standing there …no disagreement going on here. (You know I love a unique cat tarot …. Marilyn Monroe as a cat…. Come on 😂 ) still waiting for my copy but I love the color palette!! What to pair with it 🤔
Yes, “melancholy” is a great description, and the colors are totally my cup of tea!! Hope you enjoy, Sissy!! 😺
I don’t have this deck, but I’m going to try to get it. It would be really cool if the paper in the Fools hand is a map and it is carried throughout the deck.
The paper as a map would be such a cool motif! Hope you're able to get your hands on it, Jane 🩷
I didn't even know that you could order a guidebook also
Yeah, I didn't realize until a little later that the illustrated book was meant to act as a guidebook. But after reading comments about it and how it doesn't give info on the image interpretations, I'm glad I didn't order it.
Lovs the sepia tones of this deck
I do too, B! Thanks for watching 💜
Ooohh you got it!! Mine is still coming but impatient so imma watch this 😂
Can't wait to hear what you think when you get your copy!!
I got mine too. I love the deck, especially the colour pallet, but I wish I hadn't bothered with the illustrated book. It is just full pictures of the cards with a few keywords. I did also get some postcards and those I do like.
I can riffle shuffle it but not bridge, and it does hurt my hands a little to riffle. I also think the 5 of Wands is too static and it was the only card that really made me pause. Saying that I am also not keen on the fact that two knights are on horses and two aren't. I would have preferred not for all four personally,.
That's such a bummer for those who ordered the book. Re: the knights, I would've preferred the artists just picking a lane and staying in it (either all four on horses, or all four without). Otherwise, I really do think the deck is precious!
I love the art but seems like the artists whoever they were don’t know much about tarot. Beautiful but not functional. Too much of a shift in focus and genre with the art.
I do love the art as well. I have only recently been hearing that the artists don't know much about tarot. I wasn't aware of this, probably because I didn't read all the fine print of the campaign--oops! Thanks so much for watching!
