Le Tarot d’Ambre – Ambre Tarot (Descartes, 1994) – EXTREMELY RARE

One of the most sought-after French fantasy tarots, Le Tarot d’Ambre is illustrated by Florence Magnin and based on the legendary saga Le Cycle des Princes d’Ambre by Roger Zelazny. Originally created as part of the Ambre role-playing universe, this tarot blends the structure of the Marseille tradition with vivid fantasy artwork and iconic characters from the novels.

The Major Arcana follow Marseille symbolism while portraying heroes and scenes from Amber. The Minor Arcana are rich, colorful, and detailed, with court cards directly inspired by the series. The deck’s fantasy landscapes give each card a dynamic, almost living atmosphere.
This edition — published by Jeux Descartes in 1994 — has become incredibly hard to find complete.

🪶 Collector’s Note

“The Ambre Tarot has become a grail item for collectors of fantasy tarots and French RPG memorabilia. Most surviving sets show heavy wear, making a copy with pristine cards and the original booklet exceedingly rare. Florence Magnin’s detailed illustrations and the deck’s strong connection to Zelazny’s Amber universe make this one of the most coveted French-themed tarots of the 1990s.”
