Hanson-Roberts Tarot Deck

The Hanson-Roberts Tarot Deck is a renowned divination tool first published in 1985. It features the distinctive colored-pencil artwork of Mary Hanson-Roberts, based on the classic Rider-Waite-Smith symbolism but with a more detailed and smaller card format that has made it a favorite among collectors and practitioners worldwide.

The deck was originally published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc., a company founded in 1968 by Stuart R. Kaplan, which has since become the leading publisher of tarot and inspiration decks in the world. While the creative origin of the illustrations is from the United States, manufacturing of these decks has historically taken place in both the USA and Europe (Italy and Belgium) depending on the specific edition and printing timeframe.

Today, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of U.S. Games Systems, Inc. The company continues to operate as a family-owned entity from its headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, maintaining its position as a global leader in the gaming and metaphysical specialty markets.
