There are a whole bunch of exciting announcements for Tarot of the Trunk, so I thought I’d share a big post with all of them.
1) New Guidebook
The Guide to the Trunk is complete, and I’m so pleased with out it turned out. It’s available as a free download on the Tarot of the Trunk page, both a digital version and a printable version to make a little booklet. I also made both versions as downloadable files on all The Game Crafter pages, including the expansions. And speaking of expansions:
2) New Expansion: The Hidden Pocket
As I was putting the guidebook together, I realized there were some gaps in the “Suit of Odd” that needed filling, so: new cards! Plus, making cards is just so much fun. The Hidden Pocket is the third and final (maybe?) expansion for Tarot of the Trunk, and adds ten new cards to the collection.
3) New Products: No Box version and Random Trunk Pull
I realize the idea of the Trunk is the thing that ties the whole project together, and is a really cool and fun concept, but for print-on-demand it adds a big expense that raises the cost of the final product. Plus, most magpie tarot enthusiasts probably already have storage solutions they like. So, I decided I wanted to make a no box, cards only version of the main deck at a lower price point to see if people would be interested.

Also, The Game Crafter has a really cool random booster pack feature that I’ve been wanting to try out, so I made another new product called Random Trunk Pull. This draws ten random cards (a mix of Major Arcana, Minor Arcana, and Strange) from across the main deck and all the expansions. It’s for people who just want a small sample of the deck or like mystery packs.

4) The Game Crafter Tarot and Divination Sale
Tarot of the Trunk, the No Box Version, and Random Trunk Pull will all be a part of The Game Crafter’s site-wide Tarot and Divination sale May 23-29, 2023. Here are the sale prices:
- Tarot of the Trunk: $39.00 (normally $49.99)
- Tarot of the Trunk (NO BOX): $26.00 (normally $34.99)
- Random Trunk Pull: $5.00 (normally $6.99)
This will be a great chance to pick up some cards if the Trunk has been on your list!
5) The Four of Cloaks will be in the Alleyway Tarot!
Tarot of the Trunk is inspired by The Alleyman’s Tarot by Seven Dane Asmund, the largest tarot Kickstarter of all time. Now Seven is back with a new mismatched tarot deck project called The Alleyway Oracles, and the Four of Cloaks from Tarot of the Trunk’s Suited Death expansion will be featured in the Alleyway Tarot deck, one of three new patchwork decks! The Kickstarter launches on May 16th, and you definitely don’t want to miss it!
I’m so excited to give back to this community that I love so much and to be a part of such a massive collaborative project. It’s like a dream come true.
Pwew! That’s all the Tarot of the Trunk news for now!
