Decipher Inc. Trading Card from The Fajo Collection







One of the cards released in the The Fajo Collection of the Star Trek
Customizable Card
Game was
written entirely in Klingon (an English translation was, however, provided in
the rulebook accompanying the deck).



The text on the card consists of a description of how to use the card in game
play, copyright text, and some proverbs taken from TKW. The original Klingon
is of high quality and this have led people to speculate that this card was
translated by Marc Okrand, but when asked about it (by Zrajm, in 2013) he could
neither confirm nor deny his involvement.

SUCCESS!



When threatened, fight. When in doubt, surprise them. Brute strength is not the
most important asset in a fight. Real power is in the heart. A Klingon does not
run away from his battles.



If an opponent attacks you, during that battle your Klingons with Honor add
INTEGRITY to STRENGTH. (Not cumulative.)
