Rogue Deck Tarot: A Card and Dice Game

Rogue Deck Tarot: A Card and Dice Game

To find the treasures hidden in the deck you will have to work through all the challenges in your way.

This is a style of games about adventure, chance, discovery, and finding parts of yourself. Mysticism and spiritual belief are not required.

Rogue Deck Tarot is a card and dice game play system designed to be simple, fast, and expandable. A game can be set up in 5 minutes or less, and play for 10 to 30 minutes.

These sets of games require a 78 card tarot deck (including Minor and Major Arcana), and a set of polyhedral gaming dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d100, d12, d20). It is best if each player has their own set of dice, but it is not a hard requirement.

One to four players can engage in cooperative or competitive gameplay. This game play system has been playtested on ages 4 and up, but please use best judgment on the safety and abilities of players.

This document includes four different game play types based on the core rules:

• One Stack will have players draw from a single deck of game cards and apply the Rogue Deck core rules. One Stack is great for players learning the Rogue Deck core mechanics or single players who want fast setup for a quick game. 

• Double Bound presents two stacks with various levels of reveals. Players may or may not see what is coming, but there will always be a challenging surprise. Apply the Rogue Deck core rules and move toward what is thought to be the right direction.

• Three Doors lets players choose their targets as they dig deeper into three card stacks while applying the Rogue Deck core rules. The Three Doors layout is great for players who want some choice to their paths, and to develop strategy to challenge their skills against others.

• Chaos Table will forgo the nice neat shuffle and deal to embrace the chaos of the organic mess. Players will have to dig through the disorderly spread of cards for their prize. The Chaos Table playstyle is great for super-fast setup, and as a release from rigid tidiness.
