I posted this in the "Card Effect" forum, but didn't get any responses so thought I'd post it here to give it some attention.


The card states: choose #385 if you turn towards the snake, and #433 if you turn towards the bat.

As the snake is on the left, turning the wheel towards the snake should rotate it anti-clockwise, and put the bat on top.
The opposite, as the bat is on the right, turning the wheel towards the bat should be clockwise, and the snake should be on top.

This is because you are turning the wheel towards an animal.

However, looking at the cards have it reversed.
Turning towards the snake puts the snake on top
Turning towards the bat put the bat on top.

I think this is the wrong way around, and think the wording should be changed to something else. But I don't know if my interpretation is the norm and wanted to see what everyone else thinks about these two cards.

Same ambiguity in French.

Since you do not really turn the wheel towards any figure, but more you are placing it under the "pointer" (?), the text should say "if you place the animal under the pointer..."


This is more a sentence structure problem than an error since, I think, everyone gets the point of it.

I think a better wording would have been to have the card say
"turn the wheel to the snake/bat" (instead of "towards")
