The Tarock deck “Industrie und Glück” is one of the best-known classical Tarock designs of the 20th century and was produced for decades by Ferd. Piatnik & Söhne in Vienna.
The present edition is representative of the high-quality Austrian playing-card culture of the 1970s, combining traditional Tarock iconography with the solid production standards of the post-war Piatnik factory.
