Kipper cards are a type of fortune-telling and oracle cards. The deck consists of 36 picture cards. Number 1 and Number 2 represent the male and female person cards. The other images depict people and everyday situations that convey a clear message, such as "small child," "court person," "theft," "travel," or are assigned specific characteristics, like "good gentleman," "false person," "great luck," "unexpected money," which makes interpreting the cards easier for the querent. Kipper cards originated in Germany at the end of the 19th century, and the illustrations reflect the life and fashion of that time. The 36 Kipper oracle cards are complemented by 13 instruction cards. Their 26 pages explain general card reading, various layouts, and the individual interpretations of the Kipper cards, including what they mean in connection with some of the other cards from the deck.
