All Tarot Cards and how they work in Phasmophobia

The Tarot Card is a deck that contains 10 unique cards. Each card generates a unique effect when you use it, from forcing the ghost to interact with the object or causing the spirit to move around. They can also generate effects on your teammates, forcing them to experience supernatural activities they usually wouldn’t have to deal with. Like the other cursed items, they have a negative effect whenever you use the Tarot Cards and can drain your sanity. The adverse effects are substantial, so it’s cautioned to use this deck at your own risk.

These are the 10 cards you can draw from the deck and their effects.

  • Death: Triggers the ghost’s hunt
  • The Devil: Manifestation of the ghost
  • Fool: Appears as the previous card but then becomes The Fool and does nothing.
  • The Hanged Man: Kills you immediately
  • Hermit: Teleports the ghost back to its room, preventing ghost activity for one minute
  • Moon: Lowers everyone’s sanity to 0
  • The High Priestess: Resurrects a dead teammate. If no one is dead, the next person to die will come back to life
  • Sun: Increases everyone’s sanity to 100
  • Tower: Forces the ghost to do an activity in the house
  • Wheel of Fortune: If it burns red, you lose 25 sanities; if it burns green it grants you 25 sanity

The Tarot Cards are the largest risk-and-reward item in Phasmophobia, so we recommend using the cards sparingly during your game. Use them wisely.
