Rider-Waite Tarot Pocket Edition
✔The only standard version before the 1990s
✔Bright, clean colors with a simple, elegant design
The rights to this standard Rider-Waite deck were purchased by the American game company in 1971. Before 1990, this was the only Rider-Waite deck available, a standard deck that almost everyone owned, with a status comparable to a computer's "default setting." Because many new versions have been released since, some people refer to it as the "traditional edition."
This version features solid-color illustrations without gradients, giving it a flat, 2D comic-book style. The bright, clean, and elegant color palette makes it an excellent choice for beginners.
