I've seen these cards in several series now including Arcana Famaglia, and
more recently in Nobunaga the Fool, where Da Vince shows Jeanne du Arc a set
of cards after which she draws one. And Da Vince makes some sort of prophesy.

So what is the thing they do with the cards called. And how exactly does it
work ?

How do the cards work?


You're probably talking about [Tarot
cards](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot).

Tarot cards are occult magic cards used for telling fortunes and predicting
someone's future and upcoming events in life. Mystics and magicians use them
as part of their image. It's not exclusive to anime, you can see them in real
life, western cartoons, movies and tv series. They're kind of like Magic
orbs/crystals and Ouija boards.
