Rarity & Drops
ChessVS cards come in four rarities. Every pack shows its exact cards before you buy, so there is never any luck involved.
The four rarities
| Rarity | Look | Durability |
|---|---|---|
| Common | Base club artwork | 8 games |
| Rare | Enhanced finish | 14 games |
| Epic | Premium treatment | 20 games |
| Omega | Animated, holographic | 30 games |
Some of a card's remaining uses carry into the next season; details are announced before each season ends.
The ability on a card is the same across all four rarities — rarity changes durability and visual treatment, never what the card does or how strong your pieces are.
No luck in a pack
Every pack shows its exact cards, their rarities, and its price before you spend any FOCUS. There is no mystery pull and no luck involved: what you see is what you get. The Card Shop lists each pack and what it holds.
Club Packs
A Club Pack holds six cards from your own club. Every card in it is your club's edition, with your club's mark on the frame and one small upkeep perk. Club editions →
Colorways
Each Battle Card is a single card that renders in two colorways — a light (white-side) and a dark (black-side) treatment of the same artwork. You never own two separate cards. In a live match your card shows in your side's color; everywhere else (your collection, card reveals) the light colorway is the default face.
Seasonal releases
Each season opens with a 7-day pack for the spotlight club's members, and closes with a prestige collectible awarded to that club's top-ranked player.
New clubs and their card sets arrive in future seasons, and each release is announced ahead of time.
