What is a tarot room? 🌙

A Moonlight tarot room is a virtual space for interactive tarot exploration right from your browser. Use it for guiding sessions, deepening your learning, or exploring interpretations with friends. Our tarot rooms function as a magical sandbox where participants can shuffle, draw, and interact with various decks in real-time together. It's like having your own easily sharable digital card table.
