Your crate
is your deck

Photograph the vinyl you actually own. It becomes a card. Its power is set by how few people on Earth hold that exact pressing — so the rarest wax lands the hardest hits. Then you battle on genre, where the type chart is written by real music history.

The engine

Rarity is counted, not printed

A card’s tier is set live by the number of distinct verified owners of that exact pressing. The fewer hands it’s in, the harder it hits. Scan the same record and the meta shifts for everyone.

TIER 01

Common

500+ owners

The reissues and record-club copies. Reliable chip damage, no crits.

TIER 02

Uncommon

80–499 owners

A clean original press most diggers can find if they look.

TIER 03

Rare

10–79 owners

Silver-foil frame. Real power, a live crit chance that scales as owners drop.

TIER 04

First Pressing

1–9 owners

Holo gold. The “only 3 people have this” card — highest power, highest crit, the plays with meaning and motive.


Your crate

Verified. Or it doesn’t count.

Every card is a photo of the sleeve and the runout matrix, plus a one-time code you write on paper in the shot — read back automatically. No proof, no card.

The play

Genre decides everything

Same resolver runs Solo runs, async challenges and live duels. Genre type-effectiveness multiplies the hit; rarity sets the base and the crit odds.

Punk ──▶ Disco Super effective ×2.0

Punk was built to kill this. On July 12, 1979, a crate of disco records was detonated between games at Comiskey Park — Disco Demolition Night — and the backlash gutted disco’s mainstream inside a year.

Critical hit!
89 power × 2.0 type × 1.8 crit = 320 damage — Risqué is knocked out of the crate.

The moat

A type chart written by history

Every edge cites the real event or lineage behind it. It’s a card game only a music nerd could design — and it grows as the crate does.

Punk Disco SUPER ×2.0
Disco Demolition Night, 1979. The anti-disco riot at Comiskey Park that broke disco’s chart dominance.
Grunge Hair Metal SUPER ×2.0
Nevermind, 1991. One record ended the Sunset Strip era almost overnight.
Hip-Hop Disco / Funk DRAIN ×1.5
The Bronx, 1973. Hip-hop was built from the breaks of these records — it absorbs their power.
New Wave Disco SUPER ×1.5
Early ’80s. Synths filled the airtime disco left behind as it collapsed.
Punk Prog / Fusion SUPER ×1.5
1976–77. Three chords as a direct revolt against side-long prog excess.
Reggae Punk ALLY — resists
The Clash & 2-Tone. Cross-pollination, not conflict — these two shield each other.

ELO from ranked async and live duels. Deepest, rarest crate tends to win — but type knowledge wins the upsets.
