La Xaula – Tarot Game
Play the 'La Xaula' Video Game. Interpret the unseen. Reveal the Oracle.
Step into a symbolic universe and uncover hidden truths in the La Xaula Tarot Game—a mysterious deck where language, identity, and archetype intertwine.
La Xaula is built around a unique structure of 24 cards: 7 masculine, 7 feminine, 7 androgynous, and 3 neutral. Each card exists in two visual forms—vivid color and stark black & white—offering dual perspectives for every reading and strategy.
Rooted in the nuances of the Catalan language, La Xaula challenges convention. Its nouns and articles often defy traditional gender rules, blending or conflicting in unexpected ways. From this linguistic tension emerges a third identity: the androgynous, a category that reshapes how meaning is interpreted and understood. To guide players, each card is clearly translated and marked—masculine, feminine, androgynous, or neutral—inviting both clarity and curiosity.
The first 21 cards bring the world to life through figures, animals, celestial forces, objects, and places—each rich with narrative potential. Beyond them lie the final three: The Worlds—abstract, enigmatic, and powerful, representing forces beyond form.

Their work is characterized by poetic atmospheres, handcrafted aesthetics, and a commitment to independent creation, inviting players to step into vibrant, emotionally resonant worlds shaped by their unique artistic vision.
Begin your journey by invoking the game. With each card you touch, listen closely to the oracle’s whisper, revealing secrets veiled within its image. Should you wish, immerse yourself in the original soundtrack, a subtle score weaving through the experience as your companion.
Our intent has been to preserve the purity of play, inviting each player to embark on a journey of imagination and discovery. The intricate interplay woven within the cards is left to your intuition to unravel, for embedding it too explicitly would diminish the mystery and depth that breathe life into the game. For those who wish to delve beyond the surface, there lies a profound philosophy waiting to be explored—a delicate balance between the timeless wisdom of classic card traditions and the effortless grace of a casual digital experience.
This creation is yours to explore on any modern device — smartphone, tablet, or desktop — a portal open for all seekers. Embrace the simplicity, yet surrender to the complexity beneath, and may your path through the cards reveal more than mere play.
