Kipper Cards: Fin de Siecle Deck Extra Cards

Card meanings for the three extra cards in the Ciro Marchetti Fin de Siecle deck

Given that the Ciro Marchetti Fin de Siecle Kipper deck is probably the most widely-used and familiar of the modern Kipper decks, I’m including here card meanings for the three additional cards that appear in this deck.

For more on the Fin de Siecle compared with the more traditional Kipper designs, you can see my comparison and overview of different decks here:

Marchetti chose to focus his 2016 design on depicting English Victorian society at the turn of the 20th century, and including, with these additional cards, a reminder that it was not just about the privileged lives of the wealthy middle and upper classes, one of his criticisms of the original Bavarian decks. The extra cards are, as you see, Poverty, Toil & Labour, and Community.
