Buffy Games Update
Last week, I told you about the Buffy The Vampire Slayer games being released, including Tarot, and a "Conversations With Dead People" themed Ouija Board. Well, I just got some pics in the inbox, and let me tell you... I still kinda want to get 'em. Sigh. I'm a sucker:
According to Dark Horse, "The Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Conversations with Dead People” Board and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot Deck will both be available in September 2008 and retail at $14.99-$29.99."

I have this thought that entertainment corporations could make more money with the gaming side of tarot than they would always stressing the fortune telling aspects. Buffy is good for that type of tarot, but in France where tarot is recognized as a game there are all kinds of pop culture tarots. There's even been a Disney tarot published for game playing in France. If American companies knew what the French know about tarot cards, that they could be used for card games, tarot could be like all the different versions of the Monopoly boardgame on the market. We could buy tarot decks based on Star Wars, Elvis, Betty Boop, Looney Tunes, the Simpsons, Scooby Doo and much more!
