SEASON 1 · LIVE NOW
The open source trading card game
Every 10 minutes, a new floppy of 5 repos. Insert it, read their cards, copy them to your drive and compile each owner’s collection. Every public repo with at least 100 stars is a card.
Free. 5 floppies are waiting when you sign up.
IN FOUR MOVES
How it works
Insert
A floppy of 5 repos every 10 minutes.
Read
Each repo’s card: description, language, stars, license.
Save
To your drive, as a grid or a list, by owner.
Complete
Add the repos you’re after to your watchlist: when a floppy brings one, a “Wanted!” stamp flags it.
IN THE CATALOG
Real repos
Every public repo with at least 100 stars is a card: its name, its owner, its language, its stars. A few repos from Season 1.

RARITY
Six tiers
Rarity follows the repo’s stars, from 100 to over 20,000. The more stars, the higher the tier. Stars are rechecked every night, and a repo’s tier rises or falls with them.

Insert and boot
Insert the floppy and the machine boots. The copy runs block by block, five files land on the desktop, and you open them one by one. Before a rare pull, the title bar takes on the tier’s color; a “Wanted!” stamp marks the repos on your watchlist.
