THE BLOODLINE, LIVE

THE FLOOR. The organisms bet against the manifold's true odds every few seconds, no limit on how high a run can go. But dominance is dangerous: the bigger a lead gets, the more the leader is forced to shove, and underdog wins pay more the further behind they are. So one bad round at the top can hand the throne to a longshot, an UPSET. A season is 100 rounds; at the bell it resolves, the champion is enshrined in the rafters, and every bank resets.

ROOKIE CARDS. Tap [+] next to a live organism to claim its rookie card. One a season, so choose well. The cast is freshly named every season, and each card's art is generated from that organism's genes, so no two look alike. There is also a random FINISH on claim (SHINY, GOLD, EMERALD, SAPPHIRE, DIAMOND): two people can card the same organism and get different gems, and the market decides what each is worth. When the season resolves: finish #1 and your card becomes a LEGEND (1 of 1) stamped with its historic run; podium becomes RARE.

CRED. You start with 1,000,000 CRED and earn more just by leaving this running. Tap [ SELL ] on a card and the house buys it on the spot for CRED (the card is destroyed). A card is worth more the higher it ranked, the wilder its stats, the rarer its finish, and the longer you have held it, so holding pays.

COLLECTION CAP. You can hold up to 150 cards. Nothing is ever auto-deleted: when you are full, a warning pops up and you must sell to make room, with one-tap buttons to dump the cheapest card or all your commons. Your gems stay safe.

PACKS. Rip a pack to pull EXOTIC cards that exist nowhere on the floor. There are six tiers, from STANDARD (250,000) up to SINGULARITY (1 trillion). The odds are deliberately miserable, like real packs: almost every rip is junk, and that is the point, it makes a real hit feel earned. The dear tiers floor the rarity (VAULT is rare or better, ECLIPSE legend or better) and give the only real shot at an ASCENDED, but even a SINGULARITY usually pays out a mere legend. Each tier mints its own distinct SERIES. Use the OPEN x1 / x5 / x10 / x25 selector to rip a batch at once; a bulk rip shows a summary of the haul instead of one reveal per card. Whatever you pull is yours.

THE COLLECTORS. The floor is full of resident collectors, and they are unhinged whales with absurd net worths. They rip the expensive packs, browse and chatter in the live feed, and make you real offers on your cards: a cash buy (sometimes a lowball, sometimes over market) or a straight trade for one of theirs. Accept and the CRED or cards move on the spot. They are programs, not people, but the floor never feels empty.

LEADERBOARDS. You compete against the whole floor on two ladders. TOTAL NET WORTH ranks your liquid CRED plus the value of every card you hold against the bots. RAREST PULLS ranks the best cards anyone has pulled out of the packs. The bots start far ahead, so climbing past them is the long game.

THE MARKET. Card values are not fixed. Each rarity sector is a live index that drifts up and down over time, so the exact same card is worth more on a hot day and less on a cold one. Watch the CARD MARKET ticker and sell into a pump. ASCENDED is the one constant. Your net worth moves with the market.

CURSES. When a collector throws you an insulting lowball, do not just decline. Tap CURSE THEM. It instantly craters their net worth and saddles them with terrible luck for two minutes: they bleed CRED and whiff every pack they touch. Revenge is a feature.

THE GLOBAL BOARD. The net worth and pull boards above are the local floor (you plus the resident bots). The GLOBAL board ranks real people across every browser. Tap POST MY SCORE: it opens a prefilled GitHub issue with your handle and numbers, and the daily build folds every posted score into one ranked board everyone sees. There is no server and no login to read it; posting just needs a free GitHub account. Scores are self-reported and curated by the engine (the absurd is clamped), so treat it as the floor's hall of bragging.

LIVING CARDS. These are living organisms, so the art moves. Every card animates on its own seeded rhythm (orbiting, breathing, twinkling, a foil sheen that sweeps), gems shimmer, and ASCENDED cards flicker and tear. Tilt your screen and flex.

GIVING + SHARING. Tap [ GIVE ] to hand a card to a friend: it leaves your collection and you get a code; they paste it into REDEEM and it is theirs. Tap [ SHARE ] to download the card as an image to post and flex.

SAVING + DEVICES. There is no login. Your cards, rafters and CRED save right inside this browser on this device, so they survive refreshes and reboots but do not follow you to another phone or browser, and clearing your browsing data or using private mode will wipe them. To protect or move your collection, tap [ BACKUP MY COLLECTION ] and keep the code somewhere safe, then paste it into RESTORE on any device. Lose the code and the collection cannot be recovered.

ASCENDED. Most cards are cheap; greatness has to be earned. If an organism's run is so absurd it touches the ceiling, its card ASCENDS to infinite value. It is brutally rare, the lambo of the collection. A sapphire or gold ascended card may never happen again.

VERIFIED CHAMPIONS. The floor rafters above are your own local seasons. The engine also crowns its own official one-of-one champions and publishes them, so a card can be proven real. Tap SHARE and your card carries a verify link; anyone can paste a card code into the HALL OF CHAMPIONS to see whether it is a genuine engine-crowned champion or just a claim.
