[Tlhingan-hol] CCG-Cards in Klingon

[Felix Malmenbeck]

This is the first I hear of it, but here's what Wikipedia has to say:

"Because of the low print runs, Decipher was able to include some special features on the cards, including metallic ink, UV-light sensitive ink, better color saturation, artwork bleeding onto the card border, and even a card (Qapla'!) printed entirely in Klingon (the design for which is markedly different from every other card in the game)."

This would appear to bea picture of it:

It's an Interrupt card (qaghwI'). The first part is just proverbs, but the second reads:
DuHIvchugh ghol vaj qaStaHvIS may'vetlh HoSDaq ghob luchel quv ghajbogh tlhInganpu'lI'. [vI'be']

Here's an English translation I've seen in several places obline (not sure where they got it from, but it would appear to be from the Fajo deck's rulebook):

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

No idea who translated it.
Mostly accurate, but even if canon doesn't reveal anything too exciting (except perhaps confirming that one can ghaj honor...  ...and perhaps speaking of quv in the plural (individual honor?), but I'm guessing it's more a matter of an unintentionally omitted lu-prefix).

Anyhow, canon or not, kudos to the people behind this game for getting somebody to do a proper translation, rather than taking the easy way out and writing a bunch of rubbish. Qapla'!

Hi,

somebody told me on facebook that there are cards from the Star Trek Costumizable Card Game (CCG) that are completely in Klingon. I have never heard of that, I only know of the Skybox cards. Does anyone know more about this?

Lieven.
