| A fun, quirky exploration of unexplained phenomena as a means to divine the future. The tarot deck Fox Mulder would have wanted. We are living in strange times. The US Navy has admitted to the existence of UFOs. Our government has been studying cryptids at Skinwalker Ranch. The CIA-sponsored Stargate Project used remote viewers with ESP to spy on other nations. Ghost and cryptid-hunting shows have become the most heavily watched programs on television. And experts in the paranormal and quantum physics fields are arriving at the same conclusion: All of these seemingly disparate phenomena are related. Strange times call for strange tools. Tarot of the Unexplained was conceived and designed to represent the most commonly seen and experienced and yet unexplained phenomena: apparitions, Fortean phenomena, and cryptids. It incorporates these modern concerns as suits: Wands, Swords, Cups, and Pentacles become Sasquatch knocking sticks, Ghosts, Portals, and Flying Saucers. Pages have become Fans, Knights are now Hunters, Queens are Advocates, but Kings are Skeptics, and their role is to take a hard look at the situation and ensure you aren’t letting your imagination escalate things. |
