In Cult of the Lamb, you'll encounter Tarot Cards when you go on crusades. They'll provide you with a range of bonuses, from extra health to a bump in reward quality to giving you defensive bonuses that make your runs easier. To get them, you usually need to find card rooms during your crusade, which are only found on nodes with combat. Sometimes, you can acquire them as room rewards.

You'll begin each crusade with a clean slate - every run will provide you with a new set of Tarot Card rewards. There are 43 Tarot Cards in the game, and you'll have to unlock the vast majority of them through quests or various merchants.

Rare Tarot Cards

Sometimes, when given the choice to pick up a Tarot Card, you'll be presented with either shiny or rainbow-coloured cards. These are stronger versions of the cards that have either one or two + symbols next to their names. You will usually be able to see just how much stronger they are.

These are very rare - do not rely on encountering them.
