The Renaissance Fantasy Tarot sets the Rider-Waite-Smith system in a world of Italian Renaissance architecture and fantasy: marble floors, vaulted halls, and figures with an otherworldly quality. The 80 cards are printed on 350 gsm paper with spot-UV accents and matte gold edges. No physical guidebook is included; the guidebook is available online in Chinese and English.
Presented in a rigid magnetic hinged-lid box with embossed and gold-foil stamped exterior.

Most tarot cards pick a direction: historical or fantastical, grounded or dreamlike. The Renaissance Fantasy Tarot goes both ways. The setting draws clearly from the Italian Renaissance, with marble floors, arched colonnades and palace gardens filling the backgrounds, but the figures carry something harder to place. There is an atmosphere of lost kingdoms throughout.
The cards were designed by A-Fei under the artistic direction of the Vermilion team, and are part of the Vermilion Collection by FairyPle Studio. AI assistance was used in the illustration process. The set contains 80 cards rather than the standard 78, with the two additional cards designed specifically for this fantasy world.
The colour palette runs to royal blue, deep red and strong gold tones throughout. The effect is stately, almost theatrical. Compositions follow the Rider-Waite-Smith system but are more densely detailed than the original: the backgrounds carry their own narrative.
Production quality is high. Cards are printed on 350 gsm art paper with a smooth, silky finish. Spot-UV accents make details such as jewellery and magical effects catch the light when the card moves. The edges are finished in matte gold foil. English card titles appear at the bottom in a classical typeface.
The cards come in a rigid hinged-lid magnetic box with embossed and gold-foil stamped exterior. As a physical object, the whole thing holds up well. Reviewers consistently describe this as one of the more serious-looking decks in the Vermilion Collection, less playful than other titles in the range.
The architectural backgrounds are unusually detailed. If you are used to cards with plain or minimal backgrounds, there is a lot to read in the space around the figures here.
No physical guidebook is included with the cards. The guidebook is available online in Chinese and English. Anyone already familiar with RWS meanings will find the imagery offers enough to work with directly.

Robert M. Place translates 17th-century alchemical engravings into a minimalist tarot in black, white, red, blue and yellow. Each of the 78 cards shows one essential symbol, without unnecessary detail. Gilded edges and a linen-covered box make this both a collector's object and a ritual tool.
Made for those who prefer to experience symbols rather than dissect them.
