Icons are the basic card art; and provide one narrative interpretation of the card word.
Besides evoking the card word, icons are paired scene glyphs that can be used for matching gameplay. Exactly two cards share each icon. Pairs are always of a different suit color and rank. Visually simple, and shaded with the suit color.
Match the pairs for memory games, or use the pictures as storytelling and divination prompts.
Interpret an icon as a role, location, event, or other signal. The Tarot cards’ imagery loosely reflects traditional meanings, while each image offers one interpretation of its card word.
Icons sit at the visual center and connect the word, Tarot identity, and icon groups. Icon pairs are always a different suit and rank.
