The fun way to tell your future. Tarotel provides readings of the past, present and future of love, money, ambition and destiny.

There are two game plays.

Solo; just shuffle the separate cards on love, money, ambition and destiny. Select four cards from each aspect (16 cards). Place the cards face down where indicated on the Tarotel board. Turn up the cards one by one and read the revelations or predictions shown.

For group play; each player reveals their horoscope sign and earns a reading by using the Tarotel mystical spinner. Enjoy the group revelations and find out which player scores best in each of the four aspects and which two players are most compatible.

 

Tarotel is a rare game, based on Tarot cards. There are 78 Tarot cards in a Tarot deck made up of 22 major arcana cards numbered 0 to XXI (Tarotel destiny cards) and four suits of 14 minor arcana cards numbered ace to X, Page, Knight, Queen and King ( Tarotel love, money and ambition cards). Each card in the Tarot deck has an illustrated symbol that depicts a feeling, emotion or experience. For example, the Tarot major card number VI is known as the card of the lovers and Tarot major card number XI is the card of justice. The four sets of 14 minor arcana cards consist of wands (advancement), cups (romance/love), swords (ambition), and pentacles (coins/money). Tarotel destiny cards interpret Tarot major arcana cards with corresponding numbers. Tarotel love, money and ambition cards interpret the corresponding Tarot minor cards.

Readings are carried out using different card spreads and sequences which most often depict past/progress, present, guidance and future/outcome.
