Tarot Playing Cards

I was looking for a deck of cards that was a mix of Tarot and standard playing cards but I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet, so I make one myself. As I imagined that other people would also want it, I decided to share it with everyone.

The font used for the letters, numbers and symbols is CARD CHARACTERS, by Harold's Fonts. The font is free to use and distribute.

The arts are from the Rider-Waite tarot deck (thanks to LuciellaES for making it easily availabe). The arts are public domain.

How it was made?

Instead of using image editors, it was made purely with code:

1. I made the card template using jinja2 and HTML+CSS
2. I created a table linking each number and suit to its art
3. A python script looped over the table and generated each card as a <div>
4. A browser add-on converts the final HTML file to an image file
5. Another python script split the image and saved each card individually

Adaptations:

• Cups: Hearts
• Pentacles: Diamonds
• Swords: Spades
• Wands: Clubs

• The Knight is represented by the letter "H" (for "Horseman")
• The major arcanas are suit-less and have different background

Properties:

• PNG and JPG formats
• Each card has 638x456 pixels. The maximum size possible without the art losing its quality.
• Rounded edges
• Borderless
• Minor arcanas with white background
  • Hearts and Diamonds with red foreground
  • Spades and Clubs with black foreground
• Major arcanas with dark background
  • Major arcanas with white foreground
    
• Cardback not included
