SLKARDS Summary
This page is the bird’s-eye tour of SLKARDS — the systems that are live today and the progression loop that ties them together.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”SLKARDS is a trading card game powered by a Discord bot. You collect digital cards called kards by winning spawn minigames, trade them with other players, and race to complete full series. Periodic wipes keep the collection loop fresh.
Three releases have shipped: 0.1 New Beginnings, 0.2 Art of the Deal (with the marketplace’s auction flow deferred to 0.3.5), and 0.3 Praise The Almighty. Active development is currently on branch audit/post-0.3.0.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”- A kard spawns in a channel and opens a 5-minute minigame queue.
- Players race through the minigame. Winners capture an instance of the kard.
- You build out your collection through repeated spawns, trading with other players, opening kard packs, and earning koins along the way.
- Every 3–6 weeks, a wipe removes half of every player’s kards at random.
- Complete every kard in a series and you can prestige it. Prestiging a series doesn’t roll for anything — instead, it gates that series’ Almighty puzzle, which is solved with
/slkards secretto unlock the matching Almighty kard.

Section titled “[REDACTED]”Each kard is a Discord embed message with an image, name, description, series, and a rarity from 1 to 5 stars. When the bot spawns a kard it creates a unique instance — the same kard can exist multiple times across different players, each with its own history.
Kards can also carry modifiers — visual traits like Negative (black-and-white), Polychrome (holographic), Pixelated, Glitched, Sketched, or Animated.
The 397 spawnable kards are divided across 16 base series:

[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Koins are the universal currency. Live sources today: /slkards daily (100–240 koins, scaling with streak), minigame participation (15 koins, +25 winner bonus), The Collector (recycling duplicates), Ida’s Wunder Kard Packs (selling pack pulls), the Grand Central Marketplace (player-to-player sales), and prestige payouts (2,500 koins per series prestige).
See Currency for the full picture.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Kards spawn at random intervals (default every 1–3 hours), with rarity driving spawn chance — 1 star kards appear far more often than 5 stars. When a kard spawns, the bot posts its embed and opens a minigame queue. After 5 minutes the minigame begins, and the winner captures the kard.
Minigames vary by rarity and include word unscrambling, flag guessing, number guessing, lucky draws, red-light-green-light, rock-paper-scissors, coin flips, trivia, and — for 5-star kards — a three-game gauntlet called Ultimate Showdown. A pooling system splits large groups of players into fair-sized brackets so multiple winners are possible per spawn.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Players can trade kards directly (up to 10 kards per side per trade) with anti-scam protections and a reputation system. See Trading.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Every 3–6 weeks, a server-wide wipe randomly removes half of every player’s kards. Players receive 48-hour and 24-hour warnings beforehand. Surviving kards earn a Seal o’ Wipes badge showing how many wipes they’ve endured — Roman numerals I through X, then a golden skull for 10 or more.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”When you collect every kard in a series, you can prestige it — sacrificing those kards in exchange for 2,500 koins and a spot on that series’ prestige leaderboard (plus the total-prestiges leaderboard). Prestiging is the long-term collection goal and the gate into the Almighty unlock puzzles.

Section titled “[REDACTED]”SLKARDS’ full design extends well beyond the current release. The systems below are designed, partially implemented, or queued for upcoming updates. Most have dedicated pages elsewhere in the wiki — they’re summarised here for context.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Five NPC merchants round out the economy. The Collector buys duplicate kards for koins. Ida’s Wunder Kard Packs sells booster packs (series-specific and tiered general packs with scaling rarity odds). Grand Central Marketplace is the player-to-player marketplace — fixed-price listings with counter-offers, timed auctions, and a 5% seller fee as an inflation sink. Zeno’s Colosseum is the Glory-Points shop. Dr. Higginbotham’s Lab is where kards get modified.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”A secret 17th series of ultra-rare, non-spawnable kards that unlock through hidden conditions after prestiging. Each Almighty represents the creator of one of the base series, and collecting all of them is the ultimate game-completion goal.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Turn-based 6v6 duels in casual or ranked format. Actions (ATTACK, SKILL, SWITCH, CHECK, FORFEIT) resolve by priority. Attacks roll as light, normal, or critical hits. Each series has strengths and weaknesses against other series. Modifier kards unlock SKILLs — powerful abilities gated by hidden conditions — and a 5% chance each round to trigger a GAMBIT, an unpredictable ultimate ability. Ranked ELO converts to letter grades (F- through S+) via server-wide percentiles.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”A second, harder-earned currency awarded for ranked battle wins and some events. GP buys permanent upgrades (larger wishlists, marketplace slots, bigger inventories, pack discounts, Limitbreaker access), cosmetics (rarity emojis, battle narrators, titles), and powerful consumables like the Juggernaut Suit (protects a kard from the next wipe) or the Philosopher’s Stone (duplicates a kard).
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”At Dr. Higginbotham’s Lab, players spend koins for artificial rarity boosts or artificial modifiers (weaker pseudo-naturals). Players who invest GP into Limitbreaker access unlock full-strength modifications. The pinnacle is Kard Evolution — a 10-star modified kard with 50% more HP, 20% more attack, upgraded skills, and a unique visual makeover.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Beyond the basic profile, a full cosmetics system covers custom titles, kard footnotes, battle narrators, and rarity emojis. Sources include achievements, prestiging, events, and GP purchases.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Hundreds of achievements tied to every system, with main and NG+ tiers, each worth koins, titles, and footnotes.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”The guild system. Players form alliances, pool kards into a shared vault, run cooperative Raids against nine escalating boss kards, compete in Alliance vs. Alliance (AvA) matches with their own ranked ladder, and join Coalition Raids — server-wide events against massive Primordial bosses. Alliances have treasuries, contracts with sign-on bonuses and weekly wages, and a shop for alliance-wide upgrades and boons.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Periodic server-wide events in three formats: Competition (individual leaderboard), Task (individual objectives), Co-op (server-wide shared goals). Often pair with spawn-rate boosts, exclusive cosmetics, koin payouts, and sometimes GP.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”After prestiging all Almighty kards, you earn the right to design a fully custom 25-kard series to be added to the game. The same milestone is also the gate to NG+ — a soft-reset endgame loop with 156 exclusive achievements, a scaling koin bonus on /daily, expanded binder capacity, an NG+-only booster pack, and a permanent profile badge.
[REDACTED]
Section titled “[REDACTED]”Optional paid perks: a Premium Personal Pass (PPP) granting cosmetics, and a Premium Server Upgrade (PSU) granting server-level features. Premium content never affects balance.
