THE RARITY IS THE REVIEW

No made-up rarities here. A card's rarity comes straight from the game's critics' score:

• Dud — under 50

• Common — 50+

• Uncommon — 70+

• Rare — 80+

• Epic — 87+

• Legendary — 93+

• Mythic — 95+, the all-time masterpieces

Any card can drop Shiny, and one Mythic in five drops Golden. That's the real trophy.

Nearly 1,800 games to collect, from every genre and every era, plus franchises to complete for tier rewards.

THE DAILY CHALLENGE

Five covers, the same for everyone, renewed every day. Each cover starts as a handful of pixels and sharpens every two seconds. Four answers, ten seconds. The faster you name the game, the more you score.

Play it without an account. Sign up afterwards to keep your score, earn coins and enter the daily podium.

THE DUEL: GAMING CULTURE, NOT DECK MATH

1. Pick 3 games from your collection, of three different rarities, and hide them.

2. Your opponent has to identify them from blurry covers that sharpen second by second.

3. Fastest correct answers win.

• Casual duels: against a friend or open to anyone, nothing at stake.

• Live duels (beta): play at the same time as your opponent. Bring 6 games, guess each one's critics' score in 15 seconds, and every point you miss by costs you health.

• Ranked mode (unlocks after 5 casual duels): Elo rating, ranks from Bronze to Legend, coins every duel, win streak bonuses, and monthly seasons rewarded with packs.
