A game of survival

Zombie Tarot

The zombie apocalypse is bound to happen eventually, and when you’re running from the undead, it will pay to have the powers of the occult on your side. That’s where The Zombie Tarot: An Oracle of the Undead (Quirk Books, $16.95) comes in handy. Meant to help users navigate the dilemmas of a zombie-ridden world, this 78-card deck functions much like a standard tarot deck. The instructions are clear and offer five different ways of gaining otherworldly help. But the cherry atop this festering sundae is the art: Imagine a visual mash up of Leave It to Beaver with goodies from zombie culture. It’s fun, creepy and might even save your life somewhere down the road.
