A basic tarot card deck, which consists of 78 cards, is very affordable. There are of course many types of tarot card decks that all differ from one another in illustrations, materials, and perhaps even size. But even so, tarot cards in general are usually no more expensive than a deck of regular playing cards, though there are a few exceptions.

If you are a beginner who is looking to purchase a deck of tarot cards, you may be interested in buying, as many often do, some sort of tarot card package or kit, which most of the time comes with instruction manuals and guide booklets that explain to you the different spreads, meanings, and other important details that can help you get started.

The prices listed below are merely retail prices of specific brands to give you a reasonable range in the costs.
