I'll agree that a change to "Each player takes" would work better than
changing moves to move.
They move in the direction that is chosen by the player of the card. 
However, left and right are both as subjective as next to.  For absolute
clarity, I would word it as direction of play or counter-direction of
play.  But, if you look at the card, adding the extra clarification will
require a reduction in font size to fit it all onto the card, something
I prefer to avoid if possible.
