LIST PRICE: $9.95
ISBN: 0-88079-965-X
TYPE OF DECK: Based on the Rider-Waite Deck.
ARTISTIC STYLE: A fun cartoon style.
DECK BOOKLET: 35 page booklet. Has the average details on each card, what the suits mean and the Major arcana. Has some personal anecdotes that are interesting and get you in the mood for Halloween.
BOOK: There is a book available, but I have not read it.
SHUFFLE-ABILITY: Fairly easy to shuffle; might be a little hard if you have small hands (7 X 12 cm).
QUALITY OF PRINTING: Excellent printing quality. The cards have a really good coat of plastic; protects them well and makes them look extra nice.
ADDITIONAL SYMBOL SYSTEM: No extraneous symbols added, although everything is set within a Halloween environment.
ACCESSORIES / PACKAGE: Good flap type box; protects well and fit the cards well.
BEST POINTS: The illustrations have nostalgic fun feel to them and tend to remind me of Halloweens from my childhood; at least the imaginings I had then.
WORST POINTS: Based on the Rider-Waite Deck; I wish deck creators would draw more from their own experience rather than constantly basing their cards on the Waite deck. Even though that deck is a good deck it's tiring seeing it redone so many times.
REVIEWER'S COMMENTS: I have a lot of fun with this deck. when I'm missing Halloween at certain other times of the year, I break this deck out.
