Klingon Cards

What if KLI was to create a deck of cards that was completely
klingon? It wouldn't be too hard, since cards only have numbers, and the
tlhIngan-Hol system of numbering is not hard to learn or long to write
(at least not 2-10)? with a deck in existence, we could modify countless
games from english to klingon, as well as create new ones. It would offer
newcomers, veterans, and even passers-by a fascinating glimse into
klingon culture and language, much as american games reflect american
culture......
here's a suggested card phrase list, just in case anyone thinks this is a
good idea-
wa' 1
cha' 2
wej 3
loS 4
vagh 5
jav 6
Soch 7
chorgh 8
Hut 9
wa'maH 10
mang (soldier) Jack
be'nal ta' (wife of emperor) Queen
ta' (Emperor) King
jen law' Hoch jen puS (the highest of them all) Ace
If anyone thinks this is a good idea and/or has better names for
Jack-Joker, please post 'em to the list!
