New Palladini Tarot
“The New Palladini Tarot” by David Palladini published by U.S. Games Inc., in 1996.
The New Palladini Tarot is the third tarot deck by the artist and illustrator David Palladini (1946–2019). Like his previous Aquarian Tarot it is a full 78 card deck, and once again follows the card order and imagery of the Rider Waite Smith deck. It was published by U.S. Games Inc., in 1996, some 26 years after the very successful Aquarian tarot, and just like that deck, remains in print to this day. The images hark back to an older era of illustration, while at the same time demonstrate a futuristic development in style that still remains instantly recognisable as Palladini's work more►
This example is from the first printing of the deck, bearing the Emperor on the front of the tuck box, and the High Priestess on the reverse. (current printings have the High Priestess on the front). See the box►
Above: “The New Palladini” Tarot by David Palladini and published by U.S. Games Inc., in 1996. The card backs have an updated version of the ouroboros design first used on some rare printings of the earlier Aquarian Tarot. Cards measure 117 x 76mm.

I have been fascinated by playing cards ever since I can remember, and still have several of the card games I had as a child. And although I had accumulated quite a number of packs of various sorts over the years, it wasn't until I was in my 50s that I began collecting in earnest. My tastes are quite varied, and my collection of 800 or so decks includes:- children's games, standard and non-standard playing cards, adult games, fortune telling and oracle cards, tarot cards, and even cigarette cards.
