From the makers of Hamilton comes a once-in-a-while event: Monty Python and the Silly Tarot, a 78-card deck based on the absurdist humor of the Golden Dawn and the esoteric teachings of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Defying expectation and a court order, the makers of the Silly Tarot have adapted the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot to align delightfully with the humorous japes of Britain's lovable funsters. And let's face it - as ground-breaking as the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot was, it wasn't funny.
"Guaranteed to break the ice at parties."

From the creative minds behind Smell-O-Vision comes a tarot deck so rectangular it fits into a box and a companion book so flat it can be easily mislain. Amuse your friends for days with all the words and the pretty pictures and everything.
Here's what you'll get:
-
a detailed run-down of what every card means in a variety of contexts.
-
an inflated sense of self-worth.
-
a new appreciation for chartered accounting.
-
the magical ability to predict what you'll get with hilarious accuracy
Unlike other Monty Python-based tarots, the Silly Tarot features all the skits most people have forgotten or have never seen. Each cast member is included as one of their beloved characters and the four suits have been modified to reflect the zany antics of the mostly not dead yet sextet - Wands are Crunchy Frogs, Cups are Prawn Salad, Swords are Dirty Forks, and Pentacles are Spam.

From the people who said Elon Musk is a twerp comes a dynamite tarot just in time for Use Your Common Sense Day - November 4th. Look it up. If that's too soon, there's always November 5th - National Chinese Take Out Day.
The 104-page book is a stunner. It comes in two sizes - 6x9 or 9x6 - depending on how you hold it. Some people find it hard to believe that the Silly Tarot actually works as a tarot, but then some people find it hard to believe that the tarot actually works at all. More fool them.
With the 2-piece rigid box the 78 cards come in, an avid tarot reader can use it to protect cheese during long journeys or carry small stones back from the beach. The cards themselves are large-format for the hearing impaired.
