I just received my voodoo card set in the mail today, and I figured I'd share its contents with all of you.

Pictures:

Front Cover

Back Cover

The Cards

And here's a list of all the cards included...

Triumph
Treachery
The Tower
Strength
Disease
Nemesis
The Mouth
The Lovers
The Transformation
Justice
The Journey
The Lothario
The Guide
The Fracture

More detailed pictures:

The Second Set

The Final Few

All in all, it's really nice stuff. Very high quality material. It almost makes me want to learn how to read tarot cards.

they look great! btw the cards aren't apparently shipping.

*Macfly77* · 06/19/2010, 12:16 pm

Thanks for the pictures!
They look fantastic!
Can't wait for mine to ship!

DragonKazooie89 · 06/19/2010, 12:26 pm

These are great! I should have bought some while I had the chance but I had no money at the time...

Eduardo · 06/19/2010, 12:28 pm

Excellent!

So, going by the pics, your set had 21 cards, right?

Mmm, that leaves one card pictured in the Telltale photo, the one with the monkey buffoon not pictured in your pics.

So the new ones are: The Guide, The Devil, The Tower, Strength, and we get full versions of The Lothario & The Shivver.

That leaves these cards not included in the set: The Scientist (in the game), The 6th Sense (in the game) & the Monkey Buffoon one (mmm, either the Fool or the Joker I guess, this should be the one in the Deluxe Edition)

How's the material on the cards? Do they bend? Does it feel strong? How do they compare to, for example, your average deck of cards?

The material's great. It's a very nice plastic that has a really good feel and sheen. The cards themselves are fairly strong, probably on the same level as a regular card in a deck of 52. I will say, though, that my one complaint is the difficulty I had getting the box of cards to open without bending the top. But that's only a minor niggle.

Avistew · 06/19/2010, 02:01 pm

Heh, I can never open a deck of card without bending the top. Ever.

They look amazing

Thanks so much for the pictures. Is the back of the cards the same as the back of the deck?

The back of the cards are pretty much the same as the back of the deck, except the cards have a very small "Copyright LucasArts" in the corner.

Ezny · 06/19/2010, 04:44 pm

Those are actually pretty cool. Nice.

mightypiratetm · 06/19/2010, 04:45 pm

*lol* Sounds familiar. And if I manage to do it the first time, I mess up the second time I open it.

Tilan · 06/21/2010, 10:26 am

Thanks for the pictures, the cards look really nice.

But why is there an ESRB rating on the box?

Giant Tope · 06/21/2010, 10:34 am

Huh... the betrayal card is missing the knife in his back.

I was wondering the same thing.

zwollie · 06/21/2010, 11:56 pm

Oh wow, these are really cool.

So Voodoo Cards: ready for shipping
Art Portfolio: ready for shipping
Tomi deluxe edition: ready for shipping

Lets hope it doesn't take too long for the stuff to get here now!!

Brainiac · 06/22/2010, 07:46 am

So the special card is indeed The Fool (or an equivalent name). That makes sense.

Let's see, direct Tarot equivalents...as I mentioned elsewhere, The Tower, The Lovers, Strength, Justice, and Death are direct equivalents. Now that I know LeChuck on his throne is The Devil, that's another direct counterpart. The Shivress could quite easily correspond to The High Priestess/Popess (the imagery doesn't seem to match with The Empress and there's no male counterpart to serve as The Emperor). Thematically, The Journey can stand in for The Chariot, The Guide could stand in for The Magician/Juggler, and Betrayal, Treachery, or The Victim could stand in for The Hanged Man/Traitor. Add those ten equivalents to The Fool (which if it is indeed called that is another direct equivalent) and my thinking that half of the voodoo deck could be tied to the Major Arcana with relative ease was dead on.

Huh? What? Where? What are you talking about? My order has the deluxe edition in it and it still says that annoying "backordered" thing...

Tinkerwrks · 06/22/2010, 08:34 pm

They look great! I'm a little disappointed they didn't include the Scientist card though. That one was my favorite.

plrichard · 06/22/2010, 08:39 pm

Damn, I didn't really want these until seeing them...
