Kitchy set of pocket-sized tarot cards, colored in reds, yellows, and oranges that give the deck a bit of a 1960s retro feel. The majors are unnumbered; the minors include the expected court cards, but the pip cards are non-scenic and only cards 1 - 7 are included (i.e., no 8 - 10 pips). Also, despite the presence of a "1" card in the pips, each minor suit also includes a fully-illustrated additional Ace card. The majors and illustrated minors all contain keyword interpretations at their tops for "Past", "Present", and "Future" contexts.
The box proclaims that it contains a "Complete Set with 78 Cards" -- which is technically true, even given the absence of 12 minor arcana cards. The extra dozen cards are made up by the inclusion of the four additional Aces, plus eight numbered white cards representing positions in a tarot spread. The deck is attributed to D. John Hilford and Jon Stetson, but it isn't clear which (if either) creator is responsible for the illustrations. The deck is also known informally as the "Dollar Tree Tarot", since it appears to have been sold almost exclusively through that discount retail chain.
