Additional Card Information

for the deep diver and strategist

Intelligence Quotient (Intelligence Cost)

Each card comes with an associated IQ or card "intelligence cost". When building a deck of 20 or more cards, each player can build a deck with a maximum of 100 intelligence.

A card may only be placed into a deck if it does not cause the deck to exceed the intelligence limit.

Leader Card and Ally Cards do not contribute to the overall Intelligence Cost.

Leader Cards

There may only be one leader per deck. This card does not get shuffled into the 20 card deck but is instead set aside to be played first.

Ally Cards

Any card may be reserved to be placed in the Ally Row. These cards do not add to the intelligence cost of deck-building. These cards are not shuffled into your primary deck, they are mixed with the other players ally card and 3 random cards from the RugZombie collection to create a unique and unpredictable element to the game.

Rarity and Mint Numbers

ZOM cards are issued as NFTs on the BNB Chain. As such, they have characteristics of rarity and a unique identification number, or "mint number".

Card Rarity

Each card type is classified as

Common

Uncommon

Rare

Legendary

Mythic*

Biblical*

Special

These types have nothing to do with the gameplay of the card. They generally describe the intelligence that will be required to add them to your deck, but this is not always the case.

*Mythic & Biblical Cards - There may only be 1 copy of these cards per deck.

An NFT deck building game like ZOM has a few unique features that factor into gameplay:

Card Mint Numbers

Each card has been minted as an NFT and as such has a unique [ID] number associated with it.

These mint numbers only affect gameplay in a specific aspect. In rarity mode, lower mint numbers will offer slight advantages over the same card with higher mint numbers, thus a [1] mint is better than a [50] mint.

Card Mint Numbers affect the Ally Row and your related Ally Points.
