In 80 Karten Um Die Welt
Card game by Krimsus Krimskrams-Kiste

For players of the game without German, this table can be printed and the individual entries cut out with scissors. Then if each Action card is placed in a clear, plastic jacket, the translation slip can be placed inside to provide the textual information in English. Or these labels could be printed on adhesive paper and glued right onto the cards.
