Review
A far better deck than I thought it would be.

There's a window cut out of the front of the box to reveal the title card, which says "To All Believers". Don't worry, despite this fact the deck is not nearly as twee as you suspect. I'd agree that it's a family-friendly deck- the cards are small and very easy for uncertain fingers to shuffle, and there's no overt nudity. On the other hand, no punches are pulled with Death or The Devil, the art having a striking contrast between the black ink line drawing and the pastels used for colour.

The art is fairly RW, though there are nice little touches like the flowering buds on all the Wands, and the rabbit held by the Queen of Pentacles. In fact, the whole deck is best described as Nice Little Touches.
