This is a reprint of the third edition of The Tarot of Prague standard deck.
It varies very slightly from the last printing. The cold stamping is more intense on both backs and card fronts. This time the deck also comes in a specially designed wooden box.

The Tarot of Prague became a classic almost as soon as it was published. Voted Deck of the Year on Aeclectic Tarot Forumin2003, and in the Top Ten in 2004, and it seems to have steadily grown in reputation in the years since. It'sa deck that combines beautiful artwork with readability, history, and a touch of humour. It's since built a reputation as a "special" deck, that seems to carry layers of magic and meaning when its used.
Whether it's the "Magic City" of Prague, tarot or the art and architecture of beautiful Bohemia, most people will find something to attract and delight them in this deck.

This is a reprint of the third edition.The deck features a beautifulmetallic overlay—we design the overlay for each card with great attention to detail. It's very appropriate for "Zlata Praha" —Golden Prague.
We are now using a slightly different technique for the cold-stamping so it will be more intense than in the original printing of the 3rd edition.

- Metallic "cold stamping" on all cards— this is done with a technique that lets us put a layer of gilding on certain parts of the illustrations. It gives an extraordinary, effect of depth and changing colour when the cards are moved in the light. Note that the ink used is not actually metal so there are no issues of allergies.
