I found this little book in a used bookstore this week. I had never heard of it, & it looked cute! I was lucky enough to find it had the folded up layout chart, too. I'd love to be able to get all the wrinkles out, and be able to transfer the info to a cloth replica, wouldn't that be cool! There are several editions of it; this is the one I have:
Gong Hee Fot Choy - Tells Your Fortune (1982 Celestial Arts)
I did a search here, and found a few threads; one was a reading thread, so I didn't think that was appropriate for just yacking about it.
From what I understand, you use ordinary playing cards, but there are specific ones that you REMOVE from the deck & don't use. I also see there used to be a deck made to go with this from U.S. Games; appears to be out of print, & I've not been able to find any used ones for sale. So, I thought it would be cool to find some beautiful Chinese art playing cards, maybe with dragons & all the beautiful old art frills to go with it, but have not found any that the backs had dragons.
Does anyone still use this? Or, does anyone know where I could find some gorgeous cards to go with this?? I think I spent HOURS last night following links and websites, looking at decks...many pretty ones, but nothing quite right (yet).
