Mandarin is spoken by more people on the planet than any other language - four times more than English! If you’re wanting to navigate the globe, then having at least a few words to pull out of your arsenal will come in handy. And, if you’re thinking of exploring China, knowing more is a must. Finding fluent English speakers outside of major cities can be harder than finding the lost city of Shi Cheng.
This deck includes 54 Mandarin translations essential for travellers who want to immerse themselves in the culture they're exploring -Â from everyday greetings and introductions, to eating out, moving around, or finding a place to stay. Practical phrases are accompanied by easy-to-learn pronunciation.

Which playing cards are the best?
Misc Goods Co. playing card decks are manufactured by the United States Playing Card Co., and are printed on Bee paper, the highest quality coated playing card stock. The tuck case is printed with black ink, gold foil and embossed. You will sit and study these magnificent and gratifying details.
Misc. Goods Co. owner Tyler Deeb released his first deck of newly illustrated playing cards on Kickstarter in 2012 after three months of feverish design and attention. Each drawing on every playing card is re-imagined. Each character, symbol, letter and number is new.
Tyler's opportunity came in the form of a monstrously successful Kickstarter campaign. It changed his life and handed him new responsibilities – to remain ethical in manufacturing while staying thoughtful in design – ever-content, but never comfortable, to make Misc. Goods Co. a business to be proud of.
What do the cards say about your future? Call upon the Divine to find out. Here is a sample of what the High Priestess has to say, "You have good intuition - follow that intuition and do not second guess yourself.
