Deck Guidebook
Clockwork Court reads tarot through avant-garde retro-tech: invention, pressure, brass machinery, salon laboratories, precision tools, timing, and fate under mechanical stress.
Witty, adult, painterly, and instrument-precise; machinery should reveal the human choice.

The Star in Clockwork Court
