Tarot Cards are among the riskier Cursed Possessions in *Phasmophobia*, yet they hold the potential for powerful benefits if luck is on your side. When you encounter these cards during your investigation, it's wise to use them in a safe area of the map, such as near a hiding spot or close to the entrance. This strategic positioning can be a lifesaver if you draw a perilous card like Death, giving you a chance to escape.

Each Tarot Card comes with its own unique effect that activates instantly upon drawing. However, there's always the chance of drawing The Fool, which mimics another card before dissipating harmlessly. You can draw up to 10 cards from the deck without any impact on your sanity, and drawing duplicates will result in the same effect each time.

The deck consists of 10 different cards, each with its own effect and draw chance:

Tarot Card	Effect	Draw Chance
The Tower	Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds	20%
The Wheel of Fortune	The user gains 25% sanity if the card burns green; loses 25% sanity if the card burns red	20%
The Hermit	Forces the ghost back into its favorite room and traps it inside for 1 minute (cannot override hunts or events)	10%
The Sun	Fully restores the user's sanity to 100%	5%
The Moon	Completely drains the user's sanity to 0%	5%
The Fool	Mimics another card before turning into The Fool; burns away and no effects happen	17%
The Devil	Triggers a ghost event by the player nearest to the ghost, not necessarily the user	10%
Death	Triggers a Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer than normal hunt); drawing any more cards during this time will have no effect	10%
The High Priestess	Immediately revives a dead party member	2%
The Hanged Man	Immediately kills the user	1%

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions, often referred to as "Cursed Objects," are unique items in *Phasmophobia* that can appear randomly across various contract maps, influenced by difficulty settings or whether you're in Challenge Mode.

Unlike the regular loadout equipment, which helps you safely locate and gather evidence of the ghost, Cursed Objects serve as risky shortcuts or cheats that can manipulate the ghost in various ways. The decision to use these objects lies with you and your team, as there's no penalty for avoiding them, nor is there a reward-related bonus for using them.

Only one Cursed Possession will spawn on the map per contract, unless you've adjusted settings in Custom mode. Each type of Cursed Possession has a fixed spawn location. For instance, the Voodoo Doll always appears in the Garage at 6 Tanglewood Drive.

There are seven different Cursed Objects available in the game:

Haunted Mirror
Voodoo Doll
Music Box
Tarot Cards
Ouija Board
Monkey Paw
Summoning Circle
