If you haven't seen it yet, you may be interested on my link on page 2.
Also, don't forget about maybe #250, #253, #255 and #256.
If I'm right about equal amounts, there would just be two number cards left, #235 and #???.

It seems to me they mainly have one of two qualities;

#029=Dark shape mid right
#040=Dice bottom center + risk char
#058=Partial dice scattered + risk char
#060=Partial sice scattered + risk char
#063=Dark shape top right
#090=Dice scattered + risk char
#094=Couldn't see either, but there is a strange shaped white shape...
#096=Light shape center
#136=Dark shape bottom left
#156=Couldn't see either. It is Going Dotty though, so the meta message maybe?
#188=Dark shape mid right
#191=Dark shape top left
#192=Black shape mid right
#203=Neither. Ecliptic.
#218=Dark shape mid left
#222=Neither. Instigator. Could these two names mean anything?
#236=Couldn't see any. Swarms does have a black bg though.
#237=Dark shape top left
#250=Don't have
#253=Dark shape top right visible on scan

Couldn't see dark/light shapes, dice or risk chars on the ones without number sequences.

#235 has:

1-4444444434444444444443-4
4-222233332222.5-1
(Horizontal)

Dark shape is in the bottom right above the signature

Which means that #unknown should have 3-/4-, if I'm right.

EDIT: Maps don't have to be one street by one street, they could be referring to streets, ie going down a main road there are lots of turns either way that you choose not to take.

I've been thinking that maybe all these paths would have to be connected to each other and the result might have been 1 or multiple borders/outlines of certain shapes (like countries/figures or whatever). But if that were the case then if you were to connect all the paths (in any given order) your endpoint would have to be your starting point! No matter what. In other words: there would have to be as many "souths" as there were "norths" if each path was a partial outline of something.

I've tested that theory. And looking at the stats its clear this is not the case.

Here are the stats:

Strange. When I looked at the 253 scan, I could see a definite shape in the top right near where it fades to black. Maybe we have to link all the shapes together?

As for which Risk chars, I don't know their name (the Risk I play has triangles and stars, not actual soldiers) but I can tell you that the one on #040 is the same as on #060.

The dice rolls are;
#040=543v43
The bits of dice on #058 and #060 link up to make 631v64
#090=443v63

I've been looking for patterns and I've found something of interest.

From the beginning a had a gut feeling that if these numbers were paths they all somehow seemed to have "purpose". This feeling is hard to describe. But I think I can now quantify what I must have felt.

In almost all digit strings there are 2 common digits while the other 2 are not common.

For example: 11444444444411111111444 , 44444444111111111114 , 111114441114114.

These strings have a clear general direction: north-west (1-4). But there are no 2's or 3's in it. Its as if that would "defeat the purpose".

What I have found is that this is always the case: there is a general direction for each path. And only at the beginning and the end of a path there can be a small deviation from this general path.

Its like driving from inside one city to the inside of another city. First you somehow have to get to the main road (and you may be driving in the wrong direction for a short while) and once you get on the main road you keep driving in the right general direction. Hardly ever away from your target. But once you have reached the other city you again may have to turn and twist (on the smaller roads/streets) in order to get where you want to be.

This pattern seems to be present in virtually all the paths. I've bolded the small deviations from the general direction and you can see its almost always at the beginning and/or at the end of a path. More importantly: there always seems to be a general direction.

Hmm... this is sort of the time when we will look back on all the cards and see something we didn't see before. Maybe Mother Tongue has SOMETHING ELSE... considering it's a landmass. Or that other silver... *racks brain* with a landmass on it... Also, A Capital Idea... just simple spec.

First time, I'm pretty bad at this.

I've been scanning the posts trying to see if you have these card's numbers. trout me if you must, but i guess its better to have them twice than not at all eh?

#250 (horizontal numbers) 4-3322333333333332-1
upside down: 1-343-2
small black blob on the lower right corner.

#253 (horizontal numbers) 1-1111211112-4
upside down: 2-111114441114114-1
small black blob in upper right corner
