The Synesthesia Tarot deck features 78 digitally illustrated cards. They are standard Tarot size at 2.75 x 4.75 inches. The cards follow the Rider Waite tarot system, containing 22 major arcana cards and 56 minor arcana cards. As of now (unless we reach stretch goals!) the deck will be printed on 350gsm art paper, with matte lamination, matte black edging and come in a custom tuck box. Stretch goal #1 has been reached, so the deck will now come in a sturdy box with a magnetic closure! Stretch goal #2 has been reached and the cards will now have silver foiling! Stretch goal #3 has been reached and now the magnet box will also have silver foiling.

Australian Excise Duty The key date is the introduction of the Excise Duty in 1932. From then onward all Australian manufacturers had to have their code number printed on each pack, as well as ‘Made In Australia’. This makes it much easier to identify decks, as prior to 1932 there was no such requirement, and often our local decks can look just like ones printed overseas. Taxation on playing cards was repealed in 1983. The codes were usually in a circle or a triangle and are as follows: NSW Paper Products (Reed Paper Products) 1/4 VIC Sands McDougall 1/3 Spicer Detmold 2/3 Hudson Industries 3/3 None known for QLD, Tas, WA or SA. This numbering was also used on matches, cigarettes and beer.
