So this past week I discovered (by way of a passing mention in the Ken & Robin Talk About Stuff podcast) the existence of the Lenormand. The tl;dr could be, "sort of like tarot, but half the cards." Curious I did a few searches and one of the cards is, The Fox, how could I not approve of including a fox in a set of cards? Of course the first web page with card meanings I ran across gave the standard anti-fox descriptives like thieving, sly, and dishonest. At least others included things like loyalty to family, clever, adaptation, and work.

Looking at Wikipedia it seems to have originated from a 1799 game with a 36 card deck that you would play out in a six by six grid to form the game board. With each card having an inset playing card image allowing to to double as a 36 card playing card deck. Looking around people seem to still be actively designing and printing them so you can find anything from reproductions of 19th century decks to cyberpunk inspired.
