Hi everyone!
As you’re aware, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow were originally planned for the Steamboat Arcana 1928 Major Arcana, but had to be removed before printing because they weren’t yet in the public domain.
Now, as of January 2025, these beloved characters—first seen in 1929—are finally public domain. And we’re keeping our promise by offering a limited-edition Expansion Pack that completes the deck as originally envisioned.
✨ What’s in the Expansion Pack?
🃏 Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow Major Arcana tarot cards
🎨 Matching cardstock, size, finish, and style as the original 1928 Standard Deck
📦 A limited print run
✨ For Returning U.S. Standard Deck Backers
If you backed the original Steamboat Arcana 1928 Standard Deck, you’re eligible to receive the Expansion Pack for free—just cover shipping.
Here’s how to claim it:
Visit the live campaign
Choose the “Expansion Pack – Mailing List” reward tier and pledge $1
After the campaign ends, you’ll receive a BackerKit survey
In the survey, you’ll be able to add the Expansion Pack to your order for $9 shipping & handling (U.S. only)
This keeps the process simple while letting us thank you for being part of the original launch.
✨ For Returning International Standard Deck Backers
You’re absolutely welcome to join as well!
Shipping will be calculated based on your region in BackerKit. To reduce postage, we recommend bundling your Expansion Pack with a future campaign—like Aviator’s Arcana or Skeleton Dance Arcana—and we’ll make sure that option is available for you.
✨ For Mini Deck Backers
The Mini Decks were not as popular as the Standard Decks for the original campaign. However, a Mini Deck Expansion Set will be unlocked as our $18,000 Stretch Goal. Once unlocked, the process will be the same:
Pledge $1 using the Mailing List tier
After the campaign, you can add the mini Expansion Pack in BackerKit
We’re incredibly proud of these decks and grateful to all of you who helped bring Steamboat Arcana to life. This Expansion Pack is our way of completing that vision and celebrating the next wave of public domain history.
Thank you for being part of it all. We hope you’ll join us once more.
—Mark & the Steamboat Arcana Team
