5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Deck, Aug 25 2003
By Theresa (Long Island, NY United States) - See all my reviews
You cannot go wrong with this deck whether you are a beginner or an advanced reader. The pleasing colors have added to the original Rider deck while not changing the original inspired work of Pamela Colman Smith. This deck is also great to meditate on since the pictures are beautiful. I have owned many decks and this one, in my opinion, is the best of them all.

2.0 out of 5 stars Caveat Emptor, Feb 13 2003
By "cousinanjel" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a reprinted version of the UW. I'm not sure what happened, but it appears nobody paid much attention to the printing process. Result: The older version of the UW had much clearer colours, this one is muddy, some of the cards are downright pallid, and in some of them you can't make out some of the symbols.

I think US Games is coming out with a brighter recoloured RWS in Spring, 2003. Hold off until then, or go with the RWS itself, at least if you want to be able to decipher the cards.

Pity, because this used to be a good alternative to the RWS. These days I couldn't recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A better option than the standard Rider-Waite..., Jul 9 2002
By JPH "jph_835" (Fremantle) - See all my reviews
I spent one year using the Rider-Waite decks and the following three years demagnetizing my mind from their tired old limited imageries (i.e. the pictured pips).

This oldie is certainly the top-seller in the American market, and not without good reason: the pictured pips take all the hassle out of your efforts at intuitive reading, and there are innumerable tarot books which adopt it as their illustrator. Hurrah. :-/ Still, I would implore all potential users to give the Marseilles-styled decks a try. They can be more rewarding, in fact.

3.0 out of 5 stars nice, but coloring job not great
I own five versions of the Rider-Waite deck. I don't exactly dislike this interpretation--if you're used to looking at the more standard un-shaded versions, this will bring out... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars I like the colours, but hate the changed details.
I like this deck's colours, which are generally more attractive than those of the regular Rider-Waite deck, but the changed details are too much for me. Read more
