Zombie Tarot offers a delightfully unhinged twist on the traditional Rider-Waite system by blending a mid-century aesthetic with zombie carnage to create a deck of cards that is at once eerie, campy, gruesome, and surprisingly insightful. In this macabre parallel universe, wands are replaced with bones, pentacles become biohazard symbols, swords are weapons of survival, and cups channel the emotional chaos of life in a post-apocalyptic world. The Major Arcana overflows with shambling corpses, offering chillingly unique interpretations of classic archetypes. With each of the 78 cards featuring intricately collaged artwork, this deck is the ultimate toolkit for navigating a world overrun by the walking dead.

The packaging takes its cue from vintage bullet boxes, revealing the “ammunition” inside when the lid is lifted.
For this deck, we crafted distinctive zombie-themed layouts such as The Gravestone, The Eyeball, and The Severed Head.
