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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lilfluff&ditemid=182683" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://lilfluff.dreamwidth.org/182683.html animals: foxes history nifty! weird public 0 https://lilfluff.dreamwidth.org/10097.html Mon, 12 Sep 2011 01:05:11 GMT https://lilfluff.dreamwidth.org/10097.html My memory of 9/11<br /><br />Previous post: 2007: <a href="http://lilfluff.livejournal.com/83970.html">I'm coming to dread television this time of year</a><br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://lilfluff.dreamwidth.org/10097.html#cutid1">Under cut for those who find it still to early to read about it</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lilfluff&ditemid=10097" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://lilfluff.dreamwidth.org/10097.html memories history uncomfortable public 0
