Ironbear ... I suppose we can mix and match, seeing as there is a lot of overlap from one culture to another. As another alternative, we can make each "suit" a different culture? Ghost ... tarot cards are similar to regular playing cards (which actually were a spinoff of tarot cards). Instead of hearts, spades, clubs, and diamonds, you have cups, wands, pentacles, and swords. Each of the number/suit combinations signify a different idea or concept, which makes tarot cards sort of fun and creative. There are also 22 major "arcana" that embody a specific trait or fate. If folks are interested in this project I can hunt down a few URLs that summarize the symbologies of each card. Denise
