Step into a surreal, moonlit world inspired by the 1928 animated short The Gallopin’ Gaucho. The Gaucho’s Arcana 1928 Standard Deck transforms the wild, adventurous spirit of early silent-era animation into a fully illustrated tarot experience.

Every card is hand-drawn in a bold black-and-white style that echoes the expressive linework, dramatic poses, and atmospheric shadows of vintage animation cels. Instead of simply adapting scenes, the artwork reimagines the Major and Minor Arcana as if they were part of a lost 1920s film—full of movement, exaggerated silhouettes, and cinematic energy.

Where Steamboat Arcana feels whimsical and playful, Gaucho’s Arcana is striking, dramatic, and richly stylized. Dusty pampas, flickering cantina lanterns, silhouettes against wide horizons, and daring chase sequences all become part of the tarot story. This deck brings a completely different mood and reading experience, making it the perfect companion or counterbalance to the Steamboat deck.

Printed on 330 GSM black-core cardstock with a matte micro-linen finish, the cards feel sturdy, smooth, and satisfying to shuffle. Each deck comes in a premium magnetic flip box and includes a full printed guidebook with interpretations tailored specifically to the Gaucho’s unique visual world.
