A fanciful and creative romp, the Lost Code of Tarot weaves a tale revealing an alternate history of tarot. Reading like a taut mystery, the accompanying companion manual tells the story of an ancient alchemical laboratory unearthed in 21st century London, containing secret tomes and "the first tarot deck ever created". The illustrations are quirky and engaging, and express the feel of the fictional narrative well. The pip cards are stylized but non-scenic.
