The NEOBARNA TAROT (2025, Sandroide) is a 22-card + 4-drawing deck based on the Major Arcana Tarot deck and inspired by the science fiction literary universe of Neobarna. It is a synthesis of one of the most important aspects of each card; to fully understand it, it is recommended to have prior knowledge of the Tarot’s meaning. To recognize the Neobarna veneer, simply read the books in the Máquina Negra collection by Editorial La Máquina (Barcelona) and/or the 5 free stories or chapters on Neobarna.net.
