Card Types

There are five main card types in Ultrapolis: Standard, Foil, Platinum,Ultra-Platinum, and Mayor.

Standard Cards
Standard Cards are the most common type of card in Ultrapolis. They are identified by the lack of special background or borders of the card. For example, a Standard Residential-style card (such as for a hotel) would have the red background and border design. They are able to obtained through conventional means, through trading or being purchased online or in-store.

Foil Cards
Foil Cards are much rarer than Standard Cards in Ultrapolis. They are identified by the crystal-blue background and borders. Foil Cards simply mean that they are limited-edition or only for a specific purpose, but can be obtained through purchase. For example, the general Buildings for the World Capital Contests are all Foil Cards, as they are bought in bundles, but cannot be used except for during the World Capital Contest for which each card is designated.

Platinum Cards
Platinum Cards are even rarer than their not-so-common predecessors, Foil Cards. They cannot at all be obtained through conventional means (with the exception of Mayors, as Mayors are technically Platinum Cards). They are alleged to be given out as Reward Cards for those who win in the World Capital Contests. This has not been permanently agreed upon, however.

Ultra-Platinum Cards
Ultra-Platinum Cards are technically the rarest cards in the game, and cannot be obtained through conventional means (trade or purchase). There are currently no known Ultra-Platinum Cards in Ultrapolis; however, developers say there will be some added as the game is developed and expanded upon.

Mayor Cards
There are only sixteen current Mayor Cards in Ultrapolis: City Administrator, Cultural Ambassador, Empirical Ruler, Financial Consultant, Gambling Expert, Hotel Manager, Innovative Technician, Materials Merchant, Mine Excavator, Minister of Tourism, Minister of Transport, Paleontological Historian, Resource Specialist, Santa Claus, Shogun, and Trade Negotiator. They represent sixteen characters that are present within the world of Megapolis. In Ultrapolis, these characters are given Special Abilities and powers that allow you to manipulate the creation of your deck, and the dynamic of your gameplay. While some Mayors are common to find, others are quite rare.
