Queer Tarot is a bright, bold interpretation of the tarot that offers inspiration, affirmation, and LGBTQ+ representation. Created by queer and trans artists Ashley Molesso and Chess Needham of Ash + Chess, Queer Tarot reimagines the classic figures of the major and minor arcana to show a wider range of gender expressions and sexual orientations while incorporating queer history and iconography.  Queer Tarot features Ash + Chess's signature colorful, risograph-style illustrations, including retro color palettes and bold, detailed figures that celebrate a full range of races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, sizes, and abilities.

78 illustrated tarot cards (3 X 5 inches), shrink wrapped in an interior travel case; a 168-page, full-color illustrated flexibind book (4 3/4 X 6 inches).  The publishers did not shrink-wrap the product because of their commitment to reduce waste.
