Every once in a while there comes along a deck that continues to surprise and delight as time goes on. When I first opened the Allcento Tarot I was initially impressed by the packaging and design. It’s a hearty box filled with 100 cards and a 144-page book that makes the purchase immediately feel like money well-spent. As I flipped through the cards I was taken by the whimsical nature of the art, feeling it could be the lovechild of Matt Groening and Seth MacFarlane. The extra cards are a wonderful addition, bringing in entirely new ways to do readings with astrological elements featuring the twelve Zodiac cards. It also has eight cards that expand on the Major Arcana from Vision (looking a bit like Dream from The Sandman series) to the Virtues (Hope, Faith, and Charity). The creator, Michael J. Auger states that his reasoning for crafting this deck was to create an experience that pulled from the many variations that have been a part of the Tarot and esoteric traditions over the centuries. He named it “Allcento” from the Italian word cento, meaning 100. I love all the attention to detail, and as you dig deeper into the deck you’ll notice that the symbolic matrix pulls from Freemasonry, Golden Dawn, Hermetic Qabalah, Thelema, along with so many other esoteric traditions. I highly recommend this deck to anyone who wishes to engage these studies while maintaining a sense of fun and playfulness in the process! —B. Earl, Tarot teacher

It's beautiful; every card, whether of great or minor stature, is fully illustrated in color. It is not the same as my Animation deck; for one thing it has the standard four suits, while the Animation has five, the fifth being Art or Plasma or Aura or the Void, depending on the way you see it. The Allcento notes the fifth element, but considers it not a suit but as the Major Arcana, or Triumph cards. The symbolism described in the Allcento is awesome; every card is filled with symbols, somewhat as life itself is, upon analysis, symbolic at every level. The manual also describes the spreads, including the Satellite, so that you can choose the one that works best for you. The cards are like the landscape; the spreads are like the paths leading through it, so that you don't stumble into meaninglessness. One more or less random example is the Ace of Cups, which signifies the unity of emotion that provides deep emotional reserves and concentrated creativity. The picture shows an undine resembling a mermaid or sylph, holding up a vase- a type of cup, of course from which five streams of water spout, representing the five senses. Lotuses and water lilies are there, representing the creative power of imagination. The card radiates meaning, and it's just one of a hundred. Another random card is The Lion, in the Zodiac portion of the deck. The Lion personifies the struggle of creativity. His roar is a call to explore and express our full potential. As a writer who prides himself for his creativity, I relate. It's as if I selected this card, but I didn't; it was where I happened to look. That's the thing about this deck: you are bound to relate, whoever you are, whichever card you consider. You can use it for fortune telling, or meditation, or psychological exploration, or idle entertainment; it will serve your purpose. There is far too much symbolism and meaning here to cover in a brief review, so I will select a few examples. The suits of the minor arcana, equivalent to numbers one to ten of the standard playing card deck, Spades, Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, can have many designations, such as Air, Water, Fire, Earth, or Swords, Cups, Wands, Disks, or East, West, South, North, or Winter. Autumn, Summer, Spring. Air is Thought, Water is Emotion, Fire is Action, Disks is Structure. You can see how aptly these cards can relate to the aspects of your life, love, activity, or business. In sum, this is a fine Tarot deck and manual, and I recommend it to those who wish to explore the deeper interpretations and meanings of our existence. Yes, you can use them to play games or to seek insights into the future, but they are worthy simply for contemplation. They will help you to know yourself, and that, ultimately, is what counts. —Piers Anthony, Bestselling Author 

What a fantastic deck! Auger has given us 30 trumps, enchanting and fully illustrated minors, and many more zodiacal archetypes to work with totaling 100 cards in a completely shuffle-able deck. Reading with it feels like and oracle and tarot all in one pack. This deck is packed with symbolism while sill managing to maintain its own style and personality, refusing to let all of the symbols bogg it down. Every time I look at the cards I discover a new story. I think this would be an excellent addition to anyone’s tarot collection. —Robyn's Reflections

I love this deck so much already! Even though the art is cartoonish and feels a little irreverent, there are so many esoteric symbols packed into each card. I feel like this choice makes them feel a bit less intimidating and more approachable. I also love that the guidebook explains core, as well as advanced, concepts in tarot and esotericism in easy to digest bites. The color coding makes it easy to discern suites at a glance and if the extra cards are too overwhelming at first they can be removed easily. This makes this deck great for beginners and novices alike. I hope anyone reading this review gives the Allcento Tarot a chance in their practice. —Jessica at Magical Mundane Tarot

A tarot deck that feels both intuitive and familiar... The symbols and colors in this deck are incredibly vivid and rich—each card stands out clearly, and the imagery immediately draws you in, making it very intuitive to read. Every card feels unique and thoughtfully illustrated. It’s a perfect choice for those who are just getting familiar with tarot. This deck is especially great for readers who enjoy intuitive insights sparked through symbolic imagery. The archetypes are diverse and well-developed, allowing for a wide range of interpretations and deeper readings. The vibrant color palette really enhances the overall experience. At first glance, the artwork might seem a bit cartoonish, but after exploring many different decks, I’ve come to realize that simply liking an art style isn’t the same as truly connecting with the cards. In that sense, this deck feels familiar, accessible, and surprisingly deep—regardless of personal artistic preferences. Personally, I don’t use tarot for fortune-telling. For me, it’s more about study and spiritual exploration, and this deck fits that purpose beautifully. The more I use it, the more it reveals its depth and insight—it’s genuinely a surprising and delightful deck. One of the standout features is the inclusion of Virtues cards and Zodiac cards, which you won’t find in most other decks. These additions make multi-card readings more engaging and open up fresh, multidimensional interpretations. I’ve purchased many decks over the years, but it’s been a long time since I felt this satisfied. Highly recommended. —Amazon customer
