  Let me start with this: the package is decent for someone who wants to try the cards. The book provided is explanatory, although it could also refer to the symbolism of the images. The paper of the cards is fine, with the important feature that the cards do not stick together. However, my issue is that the cards have some negatives:

  1. Although an old version of the Waite-Smith illustration is used, the images have been stretched left-right to have the card dimensions of a large deck, which (2.) is not mentioned on the box. (Personally, I was looking for a more portable deck and would not have bought this product if I knew).

  3. Although it's not a bad idea to have each card named, the name is placed in a way that hides the bottom part of the illustration (for example, in the 8 of Pentacles I have photographed, the craftsman's feet are not visible, next to which is the eighth pentacle that is not visible on the card).

  4. This is elaborate, but the fact that the back of the cards shows if the card is upright or reversed is also a small negative of the deck.

  I find that the package is okay for a beginner but more features should be written. Also, if another version of this product comes out, improve the 4 points as follows:

  1. Do not use "regular deck" card proportions. The cards differ enough in their dimensions.
  2. Mention the size of the cards on the box (correct in centimeters, or at least "large").
  3. Find a way to place the labels so that they do not overlap the image. (For example, if "the printer doesn't print them differently," place the label vertically and/or on the side).
  4. Use a back with symmetrical points to not show if a card is reversed or not.

  In the end, 3 stars because 25€ is too much for this particular package.
