Tarot Cards offer significant advantages, but caution is key. Use them in a safe area, like near a hiding spot or the entrance, to ensure a quick escape if you draw an unfavorable card like Death. Each card's effect is immediate. The Fool acts as a wildcard, producing no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without sanity loss, and duplicates will have the same effect as the original.

The deck contains ten unique cards:

Cursed Possessions, or Cursed Objects, are unique items randomly appearing in *Phasmophobia* contracts (depending on difficulty and Challenge Mode). Unlike standard equipment, they offer powerful ghost manipulation at significant risk. Their use is optional; there's no penalty for ignoring them. Only one spawns per contract (unless customized), always in a predetermined location (e.g., the Voodoo Doll in the Garage at 6 Tanglewood Drive). Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
