The English version says "wild" on the wild cards. But there's nothing
"cilce" about the concept. I didn't use a character meaning "zo'e bu",
because there is no such thing. If it helps, you can think of the
zo'e-above-bu arrangment on the wild card as a single Chinese-like
symbol. As long as you want a symbol instead of a Lojban word, then it
may as well be. As for me, I'll take any chance I can get to actually
include Lojban words on this deck.

The cards have been updated with an improved "z". Here are the pages
with "z" on them:

Another thing I realized yesterday is that the point scores are all
divisible by 5. So I'm going to do so before I print these cards. I
might replace the numerals with pa re ci vo mu.
