A happy home is a home with Rook cards

Brand new & exactly as pictured. This is my husband's, his brothers', & his sons' favorite game so we go through the Rook cards about once a year (the cards are still in tact but look ratty so while the others don't care, my 57 yr old husband does care to have a nice deck of cards).  When I looked to buy some more in local stores, they were all sold out!  So I ordered 3 packs of Rook cards & my husband was delighted to see them arrive today.  (I hid 2 packs of Rook cards so I can bring them out next year & the next year after that when these get worn out).  These cards get a lot of heavy use, so I consider them to be fairly good cards to survive a bunch of adult men playing several hours weekly with these.  I noticed some reviewers mentioned the cards are cheaply made.  Maybe compared to several decades ago but these look & feel exactly like the ones I've bought over the years.

The rooms are full of interesting objects. The only thing is that many of them reappear in what should be a different home. No matter. The photos are very good and the objects and furniture are nicely chosen and arranged.

These cards are beautiful and they feel so buttery smooth. The royal face cards are a joy to look at and each one is slightly different with its own charm. I love how a very dark navy blue is used in place of black for the whole deck. It adds a really nice modern aesthetic to the deck.

Needed new cards for the Uno Attack machine.  The cards allowed us to continue playing the game having a good time

My favorite part of the game are the cards.  The game uses sixty cards (only 50 are used in 2 and 4 player games) that come in five suits/colors.  In a nice touch, each suit corresponds to art within a particular theme: Landscapes (gray), Seascapes (blue), Animals (green), People (red) and Buildings (yellow).  Cards in a suit are numbered by fives, so a streak of all one color would go up in increments of five (2, 7, 12, etc)

-----

During play, each player plays cards to their own private museum which consists of eighteen spots for cards, in three rows of six cards.  On a turn, a player places one of their cards (from a hand of five) onto the game board in one of the eighteen slots, then draws a new card.  The catch lies in the fact cards played in each row must be arranged in order from lowest to highest number.  Cards can be placed in any location at any time, provided the cards number is above the value of the cards on its left and below the value of any cards on the right.  Gameplay continues until both players museums are full of eighteen cards (or as many as can fit by the time the deck runs out.)

End game scoring provides one point for each card played, plus bonus points for adjacent cards.  Every two adjacent cards of the same color in a row provide a bonus two points.  In between the rows, in each column, there are tiles that represent chandeliers and staircases.  Cards of a matching color that are above and below a staircase marker score an additional 3 bonus points.  During the game, the first player to completely fill each row (top, middle bottom) wins a 4 point bonus.

Obviously, the player with the highest score wins.  The game recommends a two out of three series of games, but Ive found even a one-round game to still be fun.

Verdict:
I like it, especially playing with partners.  The two player game provides tension as you aren't sure what cards you are going to get later.  Do you hold out for that possible perfect play or take the good play you see now so you can move on to other things.  In a two player game players are able to see about the same number of cards, but in a four player game there is additional information to be had just what is my partner doing?  I liken it to trick taking games like Spades or Bridge, a good Muse player will be able to read their partners intentions in order to make more informed plays.  So while the two player version is just OK (and the three player game seems a bit of a kludge) I will keep it in my collection, but only take this one out for games with partners.

Is it good for kids?:

Fairly simple rules, only involves sorting numbers and matching colors so this could be played by quite young kids.  They won't win consistently, but will be able to play correctly and generate a reasonable score.  Oh, and double bonus points for exposing them to some great art history.

Gorgeous cards and storage box! The illustrations are striking and enchanting, and people of all ages can enjoy the animal facts. The cards are printed on heavy cardstock, even thicker than the material used for those various sets of "100 postcards." Each illustrated card is a little work of art, and it would be lovely to hang up some as wall decor. The cards are "colorable" in that there is some space available for adding color, but these are not really coloring cards in the same ilk as coloring books. I think the images are beautiful as they are, in black and white. The text for each card is colored according to its section, such as light brown text for the "sky" creatures, delicate forest green writing for the "jungle" animals, black for the "field" section, and a deep marine blue for the "sea" dwellers. My cards will be going out to friends as happy mail. I am delighted with the design and quality of this set of postcards!

Cards are beautiful, sized like a typical deck, and high quality feeling.
As other posted have said, they do not come in 26 pairs. You will get:

Three each of: O, E, A, I
Only one of each:Z, Y, X, W, V, Q, K, B, and J
Two each of all other letters.

The illustrations are nice, but would not be realistic enough for a Montessori home and also include an imaginary animal (U as a Unicorn). The letters are stylized enough that my two year old had a little trouble identifying some of the letters, but figured it out pretty quickly.

Overall, I knew from other reviewers what I would receive so I am not unhappy.

The deck I have is not the "mini" deck, but the "regular" (poker sized) cards. They are a good size to fit the average hand, and large enough to see the elegant details in the beautiful illustrations.
The Shabby Chicness Lenormand Oracle was the second deck I purchased when newly embarking on my study of the Petite Lenormand- and I was immediately drawn to the beauty of the images. They are lavish and painterly, though the art is based on photographs. The deck has a number of alternative cards to choose from, so that you can customize your deck, and change it periodically, when or if you feel the need to. The images are charming and evoke an idealized country lifestyle, rustic without being primitive, and suggestive of Victorian times without losing a certain 'hipness'. A romantic mood dominates, which would be especially attractive to many female readers especially. Some folks might find this deck a bit too 'twee' for their tastes, but I personally love them, and I love the way I can adapt it to my changing moods, with the extra cards. They also have an additional option, a caption at the bottom of the card that describes seasonal affiliations and timeframes. They can be ordered with or without this feature.
The printing is well done, the card stock is good quality- nice and sturdy, and the cards come packaged in sturdy plastic cases. I've had them for about three years now, have used them a lot, and I have been very pleased with them. When you receive the deck, you also have the option to receive a companion ebook, which is a pretty decent guide, and though not as exciting as the lovely deck, there are good insights to be found in it.
I ordered these online directly from the artist/author.

This is a high-quality card with a simple but encouraging message that anyone ought to be pleased to receive. The message on the cover is printed on a translucent strip that allows the background scene to show through. Something about this and the color scheme just doesn't look exactly right to me which is why I gave the card four instead of five stars.  But construction-wise and message wise, it's first class. It also has subtle glitter highlights that add to its attractiveness.

Gorgeous cards with very symbolic artwork. The messages are positive and encouraging.

I scatter these cards on foto holders about my home as positive reinforcement.  They are helpful.  Louise Hay is my inspiration.

Amazon asked for a review for this:
It is a set of playing cards: three decks
Each deck has a different colored back: blue, green, red
On the front of each card, you will find different faces with different combinations of numbers or letters: A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K and four different symbols using two colors: Red Hearts, Red Rhombus (Called Diamonds), Black Three Leaf Clovers (Called Clubs), Black Upside Down Hearts with the same stem as the club symbol connected on the bottom (Called Spades).
You may wonder, "why no 1 card, all the other numbers are there..." well that A or "Ace" card takes its place.  Each card will have the number of symbols on the middle of the card, and the number and symbol in two corners.  The bottom one will be upside down, but you can rotate it 180 degrees, it will be right side up.  The J, Q, K cards have a picture of a person on them.  Hauntingly, the people have no legs, instead the upper half of the body is duplicated upside down where the legs should be.  The Q is the Queen, the K is the King and the J is the Jack.  Some of the cards hold weapons, others flowers and one looks like it is holding a toy for the bedroom. One of them appears to be killing himself.
Here is a list of contents in each box: Ace of Clubs, Two of Clubs, Three of Clubs, Four of Clubs, Five of Clubs, Six of Clubs, Seven of Clubs, Eight of Clubs, Nine of Clubs, Ten of Clubs, Jack of Clubs, Queen of Clubs, King of Clubs, Ace of Diamonds, Two of Diamonds, Three of Diamonds, Four of Diamonds, Five of Diamonds, Six of Diamonds, Seven of Diamonds, Eight of Diamonds, Nine of Diamonds, Ten of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, Queen of Diamonds, King of Diamonds, Ace of Spades, Two of Spades, Three of Spades, Four of Spades, Five of Spades, Six of Spades, Seven of Spades, Eight of Spades, Nine of Spades, Ten of Spades, Jack of Spades, Queen of Spades, King of Spades, Ace of Hearts, Two of Hearts, Three of Hearts, Four of Hearts, Five of Hearts, Six of Hearts, Seven of Hearts, Eight of Hearts, Nine of Hearts, Ten of Hearts, Jack of Hearts, Queen of Hearts, King of Hearts, Joker, Another Joker.

Please confirm that the cards you are looking for are included before making this investment.

These cards are an adorable addition to any home! The artists does a beautiful job and my brother-and-law thought they were from a high-end store we have here, the quality is that good! I used them as garland to decorate my nephew's first birthday party and I want to frame some of them, great fall decor!

The card is more appropriate than a simple foldout which the recipient appreciated.

A rabbit family lives in the Alphabet House.  Grandpa, Mom and her baby, Ziggy, Zeke, Zinnia, Gradmas, Zoe, Dad, and little Zack live in a house that is filled with things that start with all the letters from A to Z.  Dad is sitting in an overstuffed chair reading to Zinnia and the baby.  There are all kinds of things in the room that begin with the letter A.  Can you see them?  There is an abacus, an acorn, an airplane, and alligator, an alphabet book, and four other things.  You'll have to look closely at the picture to find them.

Mom and Zoe are hanging up some hooks while Zoe plays with a hula hoop.  There are a lot of things that begin with the letter H.  Can you see them?  There is a hammer, a handkerchief, a hanger, hats, hearts, a hexagon, a hippopotamus, and five other things.  You'll have to look closely at this picture as well in order to find them all.  The Alphabet House is a fun way to discover and discover things that begin with all the letters of the alphabet.  You simply need to open the door and begin to look.

This is a charming ABC book that young children will love.  Each letter is printed in both upper and lower case in the upper right-hand corner of each page.  The young child can search the page to find things that begin with each letter.  Some of the things are easy to find and identify, while others are a bit tricky.  Children can work through this book independently or with assistance from an adult.  In the back of the book is a listing of all the items "hidden" in the pages of the Alphabet House.  The delightful artwork is cut paper and origami collage.  This would be a perfect addition to either a home or homeschool book collection!

Great cards to interpretate and beautiful to look at.

I waited patiently for the cards, waiting by the mail box the day they were to be delivered, my mailman giggled as I snatched the package from him and ran in to unveil these cards.  I was not disappointed! The art work is true to the books and so is there story. I can relate the meanings of the cards easily we with each wonderful image that takes me back to the first Alice book I cracked open as a young lady. I like the playing card size. I enjoy that you can use these as playing cards or as divination used to be done with playing cards.  The instruction book is easy to read and informative. The tin a mighty keepsake. I am so very happy to own this deck!
