CREATE

Add an image, name your Kardinal, and generate. The Kardic Grid assigns a kit (hat & eyes), 4 edge stats, a level, and a procedural background. Kits are cosmetic — tied to your Kard's rarity but they don't affect gameplay.

Limited to 3 per day. You will receive a copy of any Kardinal you create but additional copies (number based on rarity) will be added to a daily distribution pool. Every day at 00:00 UTC, this pool is distributed randomly to eligible players.

Starter Series Kardinals — Once you create an account, you will receive a fixed 16-Kard deck to get you started. Functional but modest — replace them as you build your collection.

ACCOUNTS

No personal information required. Create a username, password, and recovery question. No emails, no wallets. We do not store credentials — if you lose your info, you're out of luck.

BOOK

Your book is your collection — built through creation, daily drops, and PvP claiming.

Library — A library of all Kardinals.

DAILY DROPS

Eligibility: Create at least 1 Kardinal that day. You give to the pool, you get from the pool.

Rarity matters: Common Kardinals appear in most drops. Rare and legendary Kards reach fewer players. Every Kardinal is distributed to at least 1 player. Duplicates are possible.

RULES
PLAY — THE KARDIC GRID

Players take turns placing Kards onto empty spaces on a 4×4 board. When placed, your edges are compared against each adjacent opponent's facing edge:

Your # > Opponent # = Capture
Your # = Opponent # ≠ Capture

Chain captures: When a Kard flips to your color, it immediately checks its own edges against its neighbors — and can capture them too. A single placement can cascade across the board.

Most Kards on the board wins. Ties trigger Sudden Death: 3×3 grid, fresh hands, winner takes all.

VS AI

You must have an account and at least 10 Kards in your book to play. You + your book VS. Grid.Bot + a random creator's book. No stakes.

PUPPETxPUPPET (PvP)

High stakes. Best of 3. Account required.

The match winner claims 1 Kardinal from the loser's hand — transferred permanently. Choose wisely. Show mercy if you dare.
