They managed very well. The set includes a 395-page companion book, layout poster, and a well-made box for storage. The package is very heavy, which is why the price of the deck is a little higher than average. The book and box were designed by Antje Hellmanzik, and are works of art in themselves. The artwork of the deck is surrealistic and symbolic, done by the well-reputed German artist S. O. Hüttengrund.
