Official kard creation goes live Monday. Create your first official kards and be part of the first weekly distribution.

Community kards remain available now for casual creation and play.

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 casual play.

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 eligible for ranked play

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.

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

A creator's book must contain at least 8 official kards to be eligible for ranked play.

No account required. Each player is dealt 8 random kards from the full library and may swap up to 2 before the game begins.

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.

Account required. Pick any eligible creator's book — or your own — and hand-pick 8 official kards. No mixing books, no swaps. Commit to your hand.

Your chosen book is displayed in-game. Playing your own book earns a special identifier.

Ranked results are recorded on the leaderboard with your username, W-L-D record, current streak, and most winning book.

If the game is tied after 16 kards are played, sudden death begins — 3×3 grid, fresh hands, no swaps, winner takes all.
