When October rolls around, the urge to indulge in all things spooky suddenly increases. Thankfully, the 2023 deck-building visual novel The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood exists. This indie work is an extraordinary story about a group of witches on the brink of extinction, filled with beautiful character designs and excellent reviews. But the real star of The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is its unique tarot mechanic, which uses an MS Paint-like design space to customize your own mystical deck. Playing the game by myself made me interested in purchasing a tarot deck, but what I really wanted was to create my own tarot deck just like I did in-game. It was. Well, now you can do that.
Developer Deconstructeam announced new merchandise on the studio’s X (formerly Twitter) account on October 3rd, and it’s awesome. Just like the game, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood DIY Tarot Card Set allows you to customize your own deck by combining card backgrounds and decorative items. Each set includes 20 cards with art directly from the in-game deck (including the titular Cosmic Wheel) and 34 sticker sheets. In addition to the art, the sticker sheet includes a word bank where you can choose a unique name for your card.
It’s not just the deck itself that’s great. Boxes are also a lovely addition to your altar. It is designed as a magic book, and inside it contains the spell you use to summon the demon Abramar at the start of the game. If you want to pick up this set, you can pre-order it now for the low price of $20. I feel this is a great value. Deconstructeam said in the announcement that there is no limit to production during the pre-order stage, but after this point only a limited number will be produced for later purchase. This set is scheduled to ship in February 2025.
