House of Tarot (タロットの館, Tarot no Yakata)[3] is a tarot divination title for the Sega Game Gear where the player gets a tarot reading in Japanese using the Rider–Waite tarot cards. The game was published by Sega for a Japan-exclusive release.

Summary[]

Only one person can use it at a time but the computer-controlled tarot reader (appearing as a fortune teller) can provide unlimited readings for the player and their friends.[4] Players can choose between three characters, two female and one male, to provide the fortune telling.[5]

A combination of hiragana and katakana for the Japanese characters helps provide a feeling to the tarot reading that is both mysterious and familiar at the same time.[4] Unlike most Japanese tarot reading simulations that use the Celtic cross, House of Tarot uses the hexagram method of reading tarot cards.[4]
