It occurred to me that a number of games have a Tarot motif or theme, especially of the Major Arcana (The Fool, The Magician, The High Priestess, etc.). This could make a good game group.

The Fool's Errand, Magical Drop, Ogre Battle, and Persona are clear inclusion candidates. I'd consider the House of the Dead games relevant for the boss motif. Quest for Glory IV is a maybe; it's not a consistent theme, but a fortuneteller will periodically reveal plot points through tarot readings, if you keep visiting frequently. Hand of Fate is another good candidate; it's clearly inspired by tarot readings, and both Major and Minor Arcana appear. I wouldn't include games that just have passing references, like Max Payne and Curse of Monkey Island have one-time scenes of tarot card predictions that are never brought up again, but I'd include anything where motifs are present throughout the game.
