Strategic Use of Tarot Cards

Due to their unpredictable nature, employing Tarot Cards near a safe haven (like a hiding spot or the entrance) is advisable. This allows for a quicker escape if an unfavorable card, such as Death, is drawn.

Each card triggers an immediate effect upon use. However, The Fool card (a wildcard) produces no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.

Tarot Card Effects and Probabilities

Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are high-risk items that randomly appear in Phasmophobia contracts (depending on difficulty and game mode). Unlike standard equipment, they offer powerful ghost manipulation at the cost of significant player risk. Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), each in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle. The choice to utilize them is entirely strategic.
