13 cards, 2 title slides

An array of cards laid out behind a blue-red gradient wash. “Târé is written overtop the gradient next to a polygon containing illustrations of the three suits. Underneath the word, “たれ” is written in Japanese.”
Three blank cards with colored suit icons marked in the corners. Text gives names to the 3 suits: Blue for Heaven, red for Earth, and purple for Void.
The Heaven card “Angel.” Jagged geometric shapes make up the form of two angel wings with a halo above them.
The Heaven card “Sunrise.” A horizon line tapers towards the center, with interlocking arches above it making up the form of a hypnoic sun.
The Heaven card “Sermon.” A book is opened flat along its spine, with a number of sparkling stars floating above the pages.
The Heaven card “Revival.” A pinwheel-shaped flower extends out of a patch of grass. The heart of the flower is shaped like a teardrop.
The Heaven card “Blessing.” A large geometric star surrounded by 4 smaller stars.
The Earth card “Death.” A scythe made of simple lines and curves lies at an angle.
The Earth card “Plague.” Overlapping circles resembling scales make up an old-fashioned witch doctor’s mask complete with hat.
The Earth card “Defender.” A set of oblong hexagons overlap to form a sharp symmetrical shield.
The Earth card “Siege.” A number of straight lines make up the shape of a trebuchet.
The Earth card “Taxes.” Simple arcs around circles make up the shape of a messy pile of coins next to a neater stack of coins.
The Void card “Retrograde.” Interlocking crecents make up the shape of the planet Saturn.
The Void card “Voodoo.” Round oblong shapes make up the shape of a doll with a pin sticking out of its chest.
