These are sample Senatorial Claim cards for my Roman Emperors game (http://www.bgdf.com/node/3157). They are played by Senators (non-active players) at the begining of each turn, to influence the decisions of the Emperor (player in turn). If a Claim played by a Senator is addressed by the Emperor (and used to launch a military campaign) the Senator scores a victory point and the Emperor automatically gets the Senator's support in the Senate voting. This whole dynamic reminds me of the game Junta somehow :D
Even if Claim cards have instructions and flavor text, I think the simple icons make them fairly intuitive, so a small script-sheet will take care of language dependance.
