78 Cards. Punk/Goth art forged into a working tarot, with 128-page guidebook for true readings and collectors.

THE ALLEY CHICAGO TAROT gathers five decades of subversive Alley Chicago artwork into a working 78 card deck. Sourced from posters, ads, designs, and shop history, each card reflects the store's punk and goth roots while following Rider Waite Smith and Golden Dawn traditions. You get a standard tarot size deck on 300 gsm card stock, a 128 page guide book with card meanings and art notes, and a magnetic tuck box for safe storage. Add ons include a yes no 50th anniversary spinner coin and the Alley history book, with stretch goals adding extra swag as funding grows. Back THE ALLEY CHICAGO TAROT on Kickstarter now.
