Strategic Deployment: Due to the inherent risks, strategically deploying the Tarot Cards is crucial. A safe location, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, is recommended. This allows for a quick escape should an unfavorable card, like Death, be drawn.

Card Mechanics: Each card produces an immediate effect upon use. However, there's a chance of drawing "The Fool," a null card producing no effect. Up to 10 cards can be drawn without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.

Card Breakdown: The deck comprises 10 distinct cards:

Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are high-risk items randomly appearing on Phasmophobia maps (depending on difficulty and game mode). Unlike standard equipment, they offer ghost manipulation capabilities at a significant risk to the player's character. The game features seven such items, each with unique properties and spawn locations. There's no penalty for avoiding them, but no bonus for using them either. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in custom settings).
