This deck celebrates China, and the tuck box looks like some ancient manuscript we might expect to find in Asia.
The cards inside the box all have swirls of black on a plain white background, and despite the minimalist colour scheme, at first we struggle to put the pieces together of what is going on here. But wait ... that's it: put the pieces together! The challenge here is to piece together all the cards, which can be arranged adjacently in a 6 x 9 pattern like a puzzle, and they'll produce a single image that has some more Chinese characters for us.
Fortunately an interpreter is close at hand in this mysterious world. In lieu of one of the Jokers, a card is provided that will help us translate this confusing collection of pieces into a single whole, if we follow its instructions carefully and successfully `translate' our individual puzzle pieces into a single whole.
The face cards all have indices, in which an unadorned and plain font and pips do give each card a recognizable identity, in orange and silver colours. But the real feature of these faces is that they, too, can be arranged like a puzzle into a single image.
While unusual, this is certainly a memorable deck that is sure to make an impression on people due to its uniqueness, and is a true novelty item. - BGG reviewer EndersGame
