Telekiad Unveils STAR TREK TAROT
September 8, 2020 — Telekiad has unveiled the first items in its new licensed product line, STAR TREK TAROT. Available for pre-order now at StarTrekTarot.com, orders received by September 30 will ship in early December.
The culmination of years of research and collaboration, STAR TREK TAROT carefully matches the 78 ancient Tarot cards one-to-one with the 78 classic Star Trek episodes that aired during the show’s initial run, and represents the originally-unaired Star Trek pilot episode on two bonus cards. Tarot experts have helped to hone the deck’s entire design, to honor each card’s centuries of layered meanings and its many traditional and modern associations. Professional artists have created original Star Trek imagery and graphics for each card in a style that is a respectful representation of every original episode’s chosen scene and appropriate for a Tarot deck. Professional card printers ensure the highest casino-quality cards.
“I came up with the idea to match the 78 Tarot cards with the original 78 aired Star Trek episodes because it was a Tarot deck I wanted,” said Telekiad Lead Designer Mark “Adam” Baum. “We realize that Star Trek and Tarot is an unusual combination, far from obvious, but it works surprisingly well with incredible depth to the card matchings.”
STAR TREK TAROT is a product that shows deep respect to the Tarot and to Star Trek, and will be a solid addition to any card collection.
STAR TREK TAROT is available in three distinct packages. All three contain the same 80 cards, with progressively more additional features:
STAR TREK TAROT — the complete 80-card deck, as described above — $29.95
STAR TREK TAROT With Tutorial — all 80 cards, plus 120-page paperback tutorial — $39.95
STAR TREK TAROT Limited Edition — 80 all-plastic cards, hardcover tutorial, custom box — $59.95
Also available is the first followup product, a Tarot mini-deck representing Star Trek: The Animated Series. It is available in two packagings, both with the same 22 cards:
STAR TREK TAROT The Animated Series — complete 22-card mini-deck — $19.95
STAR TREK TAROT The Animated Series Limited Edition — 22 all-plastic cards — $29.95
The STAR TREK TAROT Limited Edition and STAR TREK TAROT The Animated Series Limited Edition will be manufactured in only a single run of 1,701 numbered units. Customers ordering both together will receive identical limited edition ID numbers for both.
