Anyone can play vs AI in community mode. Accounts are free, require no personal info, and unlock official kard creation, weekly drops, personal books, and PvP. Set a username, password, and answer a recovery question. If you lose this information you're SOL — we do not store it.

There are two types of kards:

Community Kards — Anyone can create these, no account needed. Add an image, name your kard, and generate. You'll receive a randomized kit (hat + eyes), 4 stats (one per edge), a level, and a procedural background. Community kards are used in AI community games.

Official Kards — Requires a signed-in account. You can create 1 official kard per day (up to 7 per week, Monday–Sunday UTC). Make them count! Official kards work differently:

· You provide the image and name

· Stats, level, and kit are rolled server-side after you save — no previewing or rerolling

· Your username is permanently stamped on the watermark

· Official kards are distributed weekly and used in PvP and AI Official modes

Kit rarity is tied to your kard's level and stat pool but does not affect gameplay.

Every Monday at 00:00 UTC, all official kards from the previous week are distributed to eligible players.

Eligibility: Create at least 1 kard (official or community) during the week. You give to the pool, you get from the pool.

Rarity matters: Common kards appear in most packs. Rare and legendary kards are distributed to fewer players. Every kard reaches at least 1 player.

Duplicates are possible and will be used as trading currency in a future update.

Your personal book is your collection of kards received through weekly drops and PvP claiming.

A creator's book can be browsed in the library by filtering by creator name. Both official and community kards appear, with distinct borders.

You need at least 8 official kards in your book to play PvP or AI Official mode.

Account required. Pick 8 official kards from your own book. Commit to your hand.

Players take turns placing one kard at a time onto an empty space on the 4×4 board.

Each kard has 4 edge values — top, right, bottom, and left. When placed, its edges are compared against the touching edges of any adjacent opponent kards. If your edge value is equal to or higher than the opponent's facing edge, you capture their kard — it flips to your color.

After all 16 kards are placed (8 per player), the player controlling more kards on the board wins.

The Claiming: The winner may claim any kard from the loser's hand — including official kards. Claimed kards are transferred permanently. Choose wisely. Show mercy if you dare.

Community mode: No account needed. Random hands from the full kard pool. No claiming.

Official mode: Account required, 8+ official kards needed. Pick from your book. The AI draws from a random creator's book (shown to you). No claiming.

If the game is tied after 16 kards are played, sudden death begins — 3×3 grid, fresh hands from your book, winner takes all.
