Strategic Use of Tarot Cards

Due to their inherent risk, utilize Tarot Cards in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance. This provides an escape route should an unfavorable card, like Death, be drawn.

Each card triggers an immediate effect upon use. However, "The Fool" acts as a wildcard, resulting in no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.

Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are high-risk items that randomly appear in Phasmophobia, offering gameplay manipulation at the cost of increased danger. Unlike standard equipment, they provide shortcuts but pose significant threats to player characters. The choice to utilize them is entirely strategic. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always 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.
