I shall thus attempt a thorough description of the trump cards. I have used three decks in my research:
1: A deck published by Grimauld of France, purchased c. 2011 ( previously featured Here)
2: A deck published by "Corfalu Kim'play", Purchased c. 2012 ( Previosuy featured Here)
3: A deck published by Modanio,
Some attempts have been made to describe the trump-cards [ https://sites.google.com/site/tacticclub/Home/introduction/l-histoire-du-tarot ( in French) and http://l-pollett.tripod.com/cards28.htm], but none of them have been extremely detailed in their descriptions. I therefore attempt to provide such a description.
