Strategic Use of Tarot Cards

Due to the inherent risks, utilizing Tarot Cards in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, is recommended. This precaution allows for a swift escape should an unfavorable card, like Death, be drawn.

Each card activates immediately upon selection, with the exception of "The Fool," which produces no effect. A maximum of ten cards can be drawn from the deck without impacting sanity levels. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.

Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities

The game features ten distinct Tarot Cards, each with a unique effect and probability of being drawn:

Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are randomly spawned items offering gameplay manipulation at significant risk. Unlike standard equipment, they provide shortcuts but at the cost of increased danger to the player characters. The decision to use them is entirely strategic. Only one Cursed Possession appears per contract (unless modified in custom settings), always in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
