All subpuzzles are independent of each other.

The cards in 1, 6 and 11 are taken from packs of my own design. 2 is technically a (7'1) and 11 technically a French (1'6), but the answer for the former is official and that for the latter is common enough in English-speaking literature on the game.

For 4: GUKESH IS WORLD CHAMPION!!!

For 8: 包 (パオ)

For 10: I am looking for a Chinese player at the Champion of Champions, and why the X and check marks instead of something less verbose?

For 11: It's not PINKIE and it's not fortune telling either. It is also not a trump.
