I am quite happy with this deck.

I think that the overall quality of this product is very nice. The thickness and size of the cards are a lot like the average tarot card. The imagery is really pretty. I couldn't find any flaws. Even the packaging was really good quality. I am very pleased with this product and I think that the money was a fair price to pay for it. This will make an excellent addition to my games in person as I allow my players to draw from this deck.

Pros
  • There very light
Cons
  • Requires multiple players to enjoy

Beautiful Artwork on my review.

I bought these on a whim, and I am not disappointed! These are absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful addition to my game. I've already started dreaming up an NPC. I would definitely recommend these. They're around the same size as Tarot cards and seem fairly durable. I would not recommend shuffling them like a traditional deck of playing cards, it would likely damage them. The artwork is absolutely beautiful. I love the moth imagery.

Pros
  • I bought these for my DM husband and he absolutely loves them. Great gift idea!
Cons
  • Potential for negative socialization

OMG 😩😍😍😍 for my opinion

I literally stared at this deck for days before i bought it, its a game, but with tarot you can get creative, the cards illustrations are unmatched and even the messages at the bottom are significant! I think its cool to have in your collection! Also the decks come split up its so cool

Pros
  • These decks came in such good quality. They are beautiful, the packaging is amazing.
Cons
  • Encourages isolation from reality

It is two decks of many cards of intrests

for the price of what you're paying for, these cards have a great feel to them, as well as the endless amounts of fun you can have when using them in your DND campaign, though use with caution.

Pros
  • HOME OR AWAY, OPEN THEM AND PLAY: Deck come in illustrated tuckboxes for easy storage and transportation. Cards are sized and designed like Tarot cards for easy viewing and frequent use.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to find a group to play with

Got this on a whim since Ebay had a$10.00 promotion credit on it. Both decks are high quality for both art and construction. Very good quality cards and comes in a pack with each deck to a side. Cards are a good weight and I am not worried about bending them accidently.The Deck of Many Things is exactly like the one in the rules. The Deck of Fates has a larger number of cards in there. they are also not as deadly to the players, but has just as game-breaking rewards in it. One advantage is that

Pros
  • Brybelly Holdings, Inc.
Cons
  • Unnecessary complexity

Great Addition to Your Game!

Great product. Quality printing, the cards feel great, and the artwork is beautiful. The Deck of Many Fates has great options for supplementing or replacing certain options if you want to avoid some of the potential derailing card effects.

Pros
  • They were a gift for my daughter. She loved the unique design.
Cons
  • Promotes escapism

I can't wait. - my new review

Oh the possibilities! I can't wait to use these in a RPG campaign. The cards themselves are lovely and feel pretty sturdy which bodes well for long time use.

Pros
  • Encourages strategic planning
Cons
  • Difficult for people with neurological conditions

A good buy! in my review

The cards are well made. They have a larger size than a deck of playing cards but the bigger size adds to the wonderous item feel. Bought during Prime Day so I bought set for myself and a set for my DM as an appreciation for the work they put in to make a great campaign.

Pros
  • Great box and cardstock
Cons
  • Lack of strategic depth

A Friendly Turn of a Card. Great game aid that plays well

Very excited by this product. Long-time gamer with the old dragon magazine insert that was nearly worn out.This product is excellent quality and the new companion deck Fates just adds to play.Highly recommend as an ice breaker and thoughtful game aid that plays 1e through 5e.

Pros
  • The detail on the cards is pleasing to the eye and they feel nice in hand as well.
Cons
  • Requires purchasing supplemental materials

Really cool! - my new review

Awesome! Having a physical copy of a magic item is always a plus. It brings you more into the story. Also the deck of many fates is a great expansion on the original deck.

Pros
  • Helps you connect with friends
Cons
  • Discriminatory towards certain races

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautifully designed

I love the artwork and the deck of many fates is an awesome addition to the deck of many things. I also like that it can be used separately and has boxes for each deck

Pros
  • Games & Accessories
Cons
  • Too focused on combat mechanics

So Cool, Great game enhancement!

These so so cool. The quality is great, the colours are vivid and the chaos is so sick! Adding these to my campaign was the best random event trigger I’ve ever had! The titles are a bit odd but I think they were going for a tarot vibe, so I’m okay with it!

Pros
  • This was a good replacement for my original deck. 2ed
Cons
  • Lack of character progression

Great value! best in my review

Finally a Deck of Many Things worth its price. Not only is the artwork fantastic, but it also comes with another deck. This deck can be added to or used completely separate. I had some damage to a few of my cards but they replaced the product without any problems. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Pros
  • 14 years and up
Cons
  • Requires pre-existing knowledge of the game world

Better then expected

This was a gift for my DM(Dungeon Master), he absolutely loved it. He used it immediately. We were both surprised by the deck of fates. I didn’t realize it was part of it when I purchased it. I just liked the design.

Pros
  • Exactly what I ordered and beautiful artwork!
Cons
  • Not widely available in stores

Missing Cards - my new review

Breaks my heart to write this, because it's such a pretty deck and is so well made, but mine is missing six cards. Weirdly enough, it's missing all but one of the "S" cards in the Deck of Many Fates. It claims I should have 27 cards and it even comes with a list, but I do not have the Satyr, Scorpion, Serpent, Shroud, Siren, or Spire cards.I assume the machine used in the printing process didn't properly package my deck. It's a shame. It is a nice deck. I just wish I'd gotten all of the cards I

Pros
  • Breaks the ice between strangers
Cons
  • Promotes exclusionary behavior

mostly negative fates, but might still be fun

after a review, i saw only a handful ofgood ones. Might be good for a throw awaycharacter. Has possibilities. Poor writing quality.

Pros
  • Toys & Games
Cons
  • Poor writing quality

You've selected the right card.

Anyone that plays D&D for more than a few games knows of the glory and terror that can come from a Deck of Many Things. But for years we were forced to rely on a random roll table or values assigned to regular playing cards. Well, NO MORE! This lovely designed deck can dish out fortune or woe as the players bravely/stupidly pull card after card. In addition it adds a whole new level of mystery, tragedy, or reward with The Deck of Many Fates! A truly wonderful product, well illustrated and…

Pros
  • Provides a platform to express yourself
Cons
  • Lacks social commentary

Pros
  • Brings a sense of nostalgia
Cons
  • Repetitive narrative tropes

These cards are thicc

These really are a great value for the money and are made with quality materials. Beautifully made and nice pictures for each one. Adds just a bit more whimsy to our games :)
