The Lilliput Tarot

Don’t let the size fool you—The Lilliput Tarot may be tiny, but it’s bursting with personality. Created by Andrea Aste and Neil Kelso, this fully illustrated 78-card miniature tarot deck shrinks the beloved Rider–Waite–Smith tradition down into an irresistibly playful pocket-sized format. Each card stands just under 2 inches tall and arrives tucked inside an adorable matchbox-style box that feels like a little treasure waiting to be discovered.

The deck’s bold black-and-white artwork is part of what makes it so much fun to work with. Crisp white figures pop against deep black backgrounds, creating imagery that’s instantly recognizable and surprisingly easy to read—even at such a tiny scale. The minimalist “stick figure” style isn’t just charming—it’s genuinely smart design. By stripping away unnecessary detail, the deck keeps the heart of each tarot card clear, readable, and wonderfully expressive.

There’s an almost storybook quality to the deck. It feels playful and modern while still honoring traditional tarot symbolism. Shuffle it into a travel bag, pull cards at a café, keep it on an altar, or simply enjoy it as one of the cutest indie tarot decks around.

Even the practical details have been thoughtfully considered. The cards feature a linen finish that feels lovely in the hands and helps resist fingerprints, while the specially selected font was chosen to support readability for readers with dyslexia.

Small enough to disappear into a pocket—but memorable enough to become a favorite.
