At a glance

What sets it apart

• Rarity from real readers: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic or Legendary from a year of real page views. The odds of every rarity are shown in the game.
• A real trading card feel: packs you tear open with your finger, holo foil that follows the tilt of the phone, sounds and haptics for Epic and Legendary pulls.
• Trivia duels: six cards against six, one question about the enemy card (right description, missing year or missing word), 15 seconds, and the faster you answer the harder you hit.
• Respect for the sources: CC BY-SA text with a link to the article, free Wikimedia Commons images with their credit, content and licence checks before a card enters the catalogue, reporting from inside the game.
• No account required: progress stays on the phone; the online profile for friend duels is optional and can be deleted at any time.
