Greenland & Eastern United States are the black (=wild) cards.
OK - so this is firm statement? those two will always be wild on the classic map?
Yes. In the classic map, those two are the black cards. However, do not interpret this wrong. The CARDS of those territories are black - this does NOT mean that if/when you conquer/occupy those countries, you get those black cards. All the cards are divided into the 4 colours and linked to territories. I hope I explained this in a way which you/everyone can comprehend... I'm not sure how else to explain it :<

OK - sorry - to revive this thread.
How many wild cards are dispersed in a game? I noticed in a map with 42 countries and 6 players, there's still some wild cards, so the number of wild cards doesn't correlate with the number of neutral countries on the board.
Further question - is it a "hard" number of wild cards that are dispersed, or are the cards assigned as wild is based on a probability? In other words - suppose there are a number/frequency of 2 cards that are wild for a board of 42 countries - if I'm holding 2 wild cards, does that mean no one else is holding any? Or does it mean that all the cards that are not in my possession each have a 2/42 % chance of being wild?
Thanks in advance.
How many black cards? Each map has it's own number. I only know there are 2 in the classical map - I never bothered to investigate for other maps (in this one... I just noticed over time). Rule of thumb..... #territories on a map/20... something like that? =) And no, there is indeed NO correlation to the # of neutrals on a board and the # of blacks. The # of neutrals corresponds to the # of territories and the # of players. #territories/#players = X.Y with X being an integer and Y the decimal part. e.g. if in the classical map (with 42 territories) there are 4 players, each player has 10 territories and there are 2 neutrals (4*10+2=42), with 5 => 5*8+2, with 6 => 6*7 (no neutrals), with 7 => 7*6 (no neutrals), etc....I am unsure why you came to connect it with neutrals?
Each card exists only once (unless specifically mentioned - e.g. here:

"Cards (underlined if owned):
Next card bonus: 6" It'll say:
In games where there are not enough cards for all players, the game is played with more than one deck. Cards from the second deck are shown with a number next to the territory name. Games that have multiple decks can be recognised from the icon next to the cards information. The probabilities of getting cards of a certain color in games with multiple decks are slightly different. All cards are shuffled into the card and whenever you succesfully conquer at least 1 country in a turn, you randomly get a card from the deck. The card you have, can not be gotten from the deck anymore, till you turned it in again. So yes, if you hold 2 black cards in the classical map (and are NOT playing with 9 players - but something less), you KNOW noone else has any black cards.

Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.”
