Tarot Decks: InContro Tarocchi (Tarot Encounter)

InContro Tarocchi, which was created by 46 international artists, includes 46 cards. Each of these cards was designed and illustrated by a different artist, hence the variation in the appearance of the individual cards. Some look very like the Tarot cards we're used to. Other are abstract or otherwise unique. The Tarot Encounter includes 22 Major Arcana cards, 16 court cards, and 4 elemental cards, making it an alternative Tarot deck instead of a standard one. When it was first created in 2006, there were only 500 decks produced, each numbered.

Because it is an alternative deck, traditional interpretations are difficult to apply. Though you can use standard interpretations for the Major Arcana, the other cards should be read in accordance with the enclosed leaflet (written in Italian). If you're not fluent in Italian, you can look at each card individually and try to find a corresponding card in the traditional tarot, but InContro Tarocchi is really meant for either a collector or someone interested in a slightly alternative take on the Tarot.
