About this Item

Industrie und Glück (German for 'Industry and Luck') is a pattern of French suited playing cards used to play tarock. The name originates from an inscription found on the second trump card. This deck was developed during the 1860s in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After the collapse of the empire in World War I, it remained the most widely used tarot deck in Central Europe and can be found throughout the former parts of the empire as well as in parts of Germany. Though not designed for cartomancy, these cards were used in Argentine fortune telling decks in the mid-20th century. Three versions of this deck exist. One version, depicting the various ethnic groups of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, ceased production after its collapse in the First World War. The second version was found primarily in Hungary and the third throughout Central Europe. All three shared many pictures in the trump suit but some are arranged differently. In the common version, the 21st trump is nicknamed mond (moon) because it features a crescent moon. This was a result of a mistranslation of the French monde for The World tarot card. The Hungarian version, which is now manufactured only by Modiano and Piatnik, lacked the moon. The Czechs use the common version but since receiving their independence at end of the First World War, the second trump has lacked the Industrie und Glück inscription. THE RARE COMPLETE SET. Formato: 22 carte a colori di misure 70x120 mm con verso con motivo a due colori.
