It can be used as a karuta (card game), flipped over to make train tracks, etc. A total of 3 spare cards. I wiped them as much as possible, but please understand that they are paper and may have some minor scratches or dirt. Since there is no box, I will send them in a can. The information is from 2017 railway information. These are old Plarail books from 2005 and 2015. You can have just the karuta or just the books.
