Summary

It’s game time! Press start on FGTeeV Saves the World!, the second graphic novel in the awesome-packed, New York Times bestselling series by YouTube’s favorite family of gamers, FGTeeV!

The FGTeeV family gamers really, really love playing games! But for Duddy, one game is by far best: Super Realistic (And Totally Not Made Up) Zombie Battles from the War of 1812。 Even though in Duddy’s opinion the updated version doesn’t stand up to the classic original, it doesn’t mean that he can’t quickly rack up all the power-ups, bonuses, and achievements to show the kids—Lexi, Mike, Chase, and Shawn—how it’s done。 That is until the game freezes!

The family heads to the Shady Acres Mall to fix their controller, but while at the game store, one wrong click causes all the characters from the Zombie Battles game to explode into the real world。 It’s total mayhem! Now Duddy, Moomy, Lexi, Mike, Chase, and Shawn have to fight their own avatars in order to save the world—but will they be able to stop the army of world-conquering video game villains before the bad guys level up?

Game like you never gamed before in the fun-filled second graphic novel adventure from YouTube sensation FGTeeV, with more than 18 MILLION subscribers and over 18。6 BILLION views!

So much like this creative box from B&N this noon :)

Opening this tarot is like entering into a fairy tale。 You set about laying out the cards and find they whisper in sing-song voice。 “Once upon a time,” entrances the High Priestess as she opens her book to read to you。 “In this story, YOU are the fairy godmother,” declares The Magician as they wave their wand。 “Here be dragons!” cautions The Devil。 And on, and on, they go into the “happily ever after,” with The World。 A tarot inspired by (and inspiring through) deities, folklore, legends, myths, Opening this tarot is like entering into a fairy tale。 You set about laying out the cards and find they whisper in sing-song voice。 “Once upon a time,” entrances the High Priestess as she opens her book to read to you。 “In this story, YOU are the fairy godmother,” declares The Magician as they wave their wand。 “Here be dragons!” cautions The Devil。 And on, and on, they go into the “happily ever after,” with The World。 A tarot inspired by (and inspiring through) deities, folklore, legends, myths, and fairy tales from around the world。 Norway, France, Mexico, Ghana, Ireland, Cambodia, China, Japan, Iraq, South Africa, Sweden, Vietnam, Hawaii, many more beside。 It is unequivocally diverse, and through its diversity, celebrates the universal。 Each card connects smoothly and effortlessly to reader and querent, and the burning questions。Who would I recommend this to? The child in each of us。 Multi-cultural and inclusive of all gender identities and expressions, this deck is a dream。 Relaxing and effortless to work with — charming for the experienced practitioner and incredibly beginner friendly。 The deck comes with a small, full colour guide booklet that is perfectly sufficient in summarising the cards, their stories, and their applied meanings。 For the truly enchanted, however, there is a complementary, illustrated book, Beneath the Moon: Fairy Tales, Myths, and Divine Stories from Around the World, published in conjunction with the tarot, filled with longer-length versions of the 78 tales of the deck。 It easily works as a stand-alone and makes a good selection for bedtime stories for young children。Deck Interview: I begin each relationship with a new deck intended for group work, as this one was, with a simple interview asking these three questions:1) What do you need from us? 2) What will you teach us? and 3) What will our relationship be like?The response cards were as follows: Three of Cups, Ace of Swords, and Knight of Coins。 This deck asks that we show up with joy, relaxed and ready to engage, but mindful not to over-do it。 It promises to teach us how to use discernment to make quick work of cutting through confusion, and it predicts that our relationship will be a grounded, solutions-oriented one, established with care over time。And, so it was。 。。。more

One of my favorite tarot decks ever made。 Each card is well thought out and well illustrated。 You can feel the love and passion put behind each piece; every card telling its own story within the story of The Fool's journey。 It's a work of art in its' own right!

I bought this for the artwork and the stories that the cards portray, but it has become a favorite deck and it does give readings very clearly。 I love the illustrator's use of color and imagery and it just speaks to me。 Can't say enough good things about it。 Get it, you won't regret it!To see the artwork up close, check out my unboxing of it: https://www。youtube。com/watch?v=8UN-3。。。 I bought this for the artwork and the stories that the cards portray, but it has become a favorite deck and it does give readings very clearly。 I love the illustrator's use of color and imagery and it just speaks to me。 Can't say enough good things about it。 Get it, you won't regret it!To see the artwork up close, check out my unboxing of it: https://www。youtube。com/watch?v=8UN-3。。。 。。。more

Beautiful beautiful art and wonderful explanations as to why each folk lore is chosen for each card! Love this deck to bits

I feel a bit silly reviewing this on Goodreads since it's not a book at all but rather a tarot deck that got assigned an ISBN, but it's fucking magnificent。 Yoshi is a wonderful artist, and I find that the depiction of folktale and mythological characters, rather than generic ones, deepens my readings because it adds another layer to each card's possible meanings。 I haven't used my other decks since getting this one, and I suspect I won't use them much in future。 I feel a bit silly reviewing this on Goodreads since it's not a book at all but rather a tarot deck that got assigned an ISBN, but it's fucking magnificent。 Yoshi is a wonderful artist, and I find that the depiction of folktale and mythological characters, rather than generic ones, deepens my readings because it adds another layer to each card's possible meanings。 I haven't used my other decks since getting this one, and I suspect I won't use them much in future。 。。。more

I can’t get over how much I love this deck。 Yoshi’s interpretations for each card are fascinating and I love the artwork and the accompanying legends。 This deck feels like home。

I'm in love。 The linen card stock is so nice and shuffles like a dream! I do recommend the companion book of the stories the cards are based in, but most of the artwork still follows the traditional RWS system so it's not a necessity。 As a fan of Yoshi Yoshitani's artwork I've been waiting a long time for this deck to be released and I was not disappointed one bit!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this deck。 I'm a sucker for folktale/mythology decks and this deck's quality (especially for the price point; cardstock is thick, matte linen-finish, the box is simple but lovely, the included book gives you as much as you need though I do recommend purchasing the companion storybook), its diversity, the vibrancy and beauty of its art make it an instant favorite。 I cannot say enough wonderful things about this deck。 I'm a sucker for folktale/mythology decks and this deck's quality (especially for the price point; cardstock is thick, matte linen-finish, the box is simple but lovely, the included book gives you as much as you need though I do recommend purchasing the companion storybook), its diversity, the vibrancy and beauty of its art make it an instant favorite。 。。。more

Amazing art and sources of inspiration。 Looking forward to using it。 The cards are vivid and have a life of their own。

Beautiful, Multi-Cultural Tarot Deck with Poor Plastic Texture, Some Errors, and Dark Undertones__The Basics__Tarot of the Divine is an RWS (Rider-Waite-Smith) clone, meaning the imagery is based on the system established by Arthur Waite of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, illustrated by the legendary Pamela Colman Smith, and published by the Rider Company in 1909。The suits in both the deck and LWB ("little white book," lingo for the booklets that come with Tarot decks) are ordered as Swor Beautiful, Multi-Cultural Tarot Deck with Poor Plastic Texture, Some Errors, and Dark Undertones__The Basics__Tarot of the Divine is an RWS (Rider-Waite-Smith) clone, meaning the imagery is based on the system established by Arthur Waite of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, illustrated by the legendary Pamela Colman Smith, and published by the Rider Company in 1909。The suits in both the deck and LWB ("little white book," lingo for the booklets that come with Tarot decks) are ordered as Swords, Cups, Coins, and Wands instead of the traditional Wands (fire), Cups (water), Swords (air), and Coins (earth)。The deck also features the traditional, gendered Court cards of King, Queen, Knight, and Paige。I wouldn't recommend this deck for beginners because of the high amount of initial research necessary to understand the multi-cultural stories depicted in the deck and how they connect with RWS meanings。Intermediate and advanced readers who're already familiar with RWS meanings and intuitive reading will have the added challenge and appreciation of reading about the cultures represented in this deck。__The Cards__The art of Yoshi Yoshitani is stunning and faithfully reproduced on the cards based on my side-by-side comparison of the actual companion book, Beneath the Moon: Fairy Tales, Myths, and Divine Stories from Around the World, which is sold separately。The biggest problem with this deck, however, is the poor card quality -- it's the same texture, thinness, and glossiness of standard Bicycle playing cards!THEY。 ARE。 SO。 HARD。 TO。 SHUFFLE。 They keep getting stuck on each other because of the rough plastic texture。 I've already slightly bent my entire deck of cards from trying to shuffle them!The other problem with the texture and gloss of these cards is it makes them hard to see in any sort of overhead or direct light, which is such a shame for such a beautiful deck。I also wish the card borders included the name(s) of the figure(s) on them, which I'll discuss more in the next section。__The Design__The box is stylish and sturdy with gold foil accents and a ribbon to easily pull out the deck, but does not have a magnetic clasp to keep it shut and is too big compared to most other keepsake Tarot boxes。For some reason, the LWB is nearly twice the size as the cards, so the box was made to accommodate it instead of the deck itself。 People looking for a more compact transport will probably want to get a deck bag and leave the large LWB in the original box。A full-color LWB is rare and a nice touch, but the contents are lacking if the main appeal for you is to learn about all the different cultures represented in this deck。 The description of each card will only have the name of the figure(s) represented and where they're from, while the rest of the description goes into the standard upright and reversed RWS meanings。Paying extra for Beneath the Moon was worth it, imo, for the full-size, full-color images and to know more about the stories depicted in the deck。But don't expect the full story -- only one page is dedicated to each folktale or mythology with the intent to introduce and prompt you to look for more info。 It is, however, enough to connect the artist's intent with the imagery and cards they're on。I'm not sure that the stories are organized in any particular order, but I wish it was in the order of the cards for quick reference。 The stories used in both the Major and Minor Arcana are all mixed up, making the table of contents useless and the index essential。Since the figure(s) in each card aren't identified on the border and the book isn't in the same order as the cards or LWB, you'll either have to flip through the book and hope you find it quickly, or find the card in the LWB then look up the story in the index。 It would've been great to be able to just use the deck and book, especially if you already know all the RWS meanings by heart and don't need the LWB, so I feel like these were design oversights。EDIT: I've found two inconsistencies so far。The first is The Beauty and the Beast, which the LWB says "China, Danish Fairy Tale" but the book says "China, Chinese Fairy Tale。" As far as I can tell, the creator used the Chinese folktale “The Fairy Serpent” in the book, but kept the Western, Disney-inspired Beast imagery rather than a serpent for some reason。The other strange error is The Nightingale, which the LWB says "Denmark, Danish Folk Tale" but the book says "China, Danish Fairy Tale。" The imagery is Chinese and the story takes place in China, so it appears the book is correct but the LWB is wrong。__The Vibe__I've been a Tarot reader both personally and professionally for 16 years and am very picky about my decks。 The main thing that drew me to this one is the multi-cultural theme because, let's face it -- the vast majority of decks are Euro-centric。In Beneath the Moon, Yoshi (who does not use pronouns) talks about the influence Yoshi's mixed heritage had on the stories Yoshi's parents told growing up, and how Yoshi could find the common threads that wove different societies together。 As a fellow mixed person, I connect with those experiences and value the variety of stories in this deck。 I think it will appeal to the growing number of mixed readers, as well as people who want more varied representation of cultures and skin-tone。 I don't think there are any LGBTQIA+ representations though except perhaps Mohini (Vishnu's female form) and Aravan's marriage on the 4 of Wands。The deck uses stories as metaphors for behaviors and situations that might be in your life, but I felt like some of the stories didn't match the cards they were on since it's meant to be RWS-based。 Furthermore, the deck doesn't read positively (gentle, encouraging guidance) or negatively (getting smacked with the cold, dark truth of the universe) at first glance, but some of the stories could be disturbing for some, such as the 10 of Swords showing Sedna's father throwing her overboard and cutting off her fingers when she tries to live。I personally found dark undertones in even celebratory images like the 3 of Coins, which shows a child performing joyfully near Banjhakri and Banjhakrini having successfully completed their shaman training。 Further reading revealed that they kidnap children and put them under physical and other rigorous testing, and kill the ones who don't succeed。 I don't personally believe this matches the cooperation traditionally implied by that card considering the story itself has children under duress。This deck might be good for ancestral work since chances are your background(s) are represented here。 。。。more

I have been waiting for this deck for so long and I am so excited to finally have it!The art is stunning and I love all the details packed into the cards despite the deceptively simple art style。 The theme is myths and fairytales from around the world and it really feels like one of the most diverse and inclusive decks I have seen。 The artwork is quite cheerful in tone with rich, vibrant colors。 Due to the timelessness and universal appeal of fairytales and myths I could see this deck being appe I have been waiting for this deck for so long and I am so excited to finally have it!The art is stunning and I love all the details packed into the cards despite the deceptively simple art style。 The theme is myths and fairytales from around the world and it really feels like one of the most diverse and inclusive decks I have seen。 The artwork is quite cheerful in tone with rich, vibrant colors。 Due to the timelessness and universal appeal of fairytales and myths I could see this deck being appealing to many different querents for years to come。 While I could not find any overtly disturbing imagery, there is very mild nudity in a couple of cards。 I would say the deck is not inappropriate for younger readers because of the light, animated style of the art itself。The deck is comparable to the Light Seer's in size and thickness, though they feel a tiny bit heavier and are much more flexible, making them far easier to riffle shuffle。 The cardstock is a nice linen finish, which feels very smooth and non-sticky。 While the cards are neither glossy or matte, the visible texture of the linen finish on the cards may be unappealing to some。 They remind me of casino playing cards, which feel a lot higher quality than most other mass market decks。 Due to the size and weight, readers with smaller hands may have more difficulty shuffling。The packaging is gorgeous with a sturdy clamshell box decorated with metallic gold accents。 The accompanying guidebook is full color and while on the shorter side it includes a decent amount of information。 For each card the book includes the name of the farytale/myth, origin, a very brief (2-3 sentences) summary of each story, and upright/reversed keywords。 For any reader with an interest in mythology or fairytales, I would highly recommend this deck。 I am blown away by the art and impressed with the overall design and quality of the deck。 It is much higher quality than I expect from most mass market decks。 I can only hope that other publishers will take note。 Lastly, I have not already but will definitely be purchasing Beneath the Moon which contains the full length stories that were used in the deck。 。。。more
