General Information
Urban Rivals is an online multi-player card game. Each card represents a character (some of which are based on real people or well-known fictional characters). Each character has specific Power and Damage values, and belongs to a clan. Each clan has a special bonus, which is shared by all the cards in that clan. Most cards also have abilities that aid in battles, some of which counter or are triggered by other cards' abilities.
Free registration gives a player 8 character cards; further cards can be purchased using the in-game currency, 'Clintz', or through random packs using premium currency, Credits. 4 new characters, usually from 4 different clans, are added every two weeks, and included in the 'New Blood' pack in the shop, which contains the 35 most recent additions to the game. Usually, every year, a new clan is released, and during the introduction of the new clan, 4 (formerly 6) new characters from that clan are added every week for about two weeks.
The game uses affiliate marketing to encourage existing players to recruit or sponsor new players.
An associated webcomic is posted occasionally on the Urban Rivals official website. Sometimes this comic gives out hints of a new character or clan.

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or information:
“The reputation of generosity is to be purchased pretty cheap; it does not depend so much upon a man’s general expense, as it does upon his giving handsomely where it is proper to give at all. A man, for instance, who should give a servant four shillings, would pass for covetous, while he who gave him a crown, would be reckoned generous; so that the difference of those two opposite characters, turns upon one shilling.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I believe it has been said that one copy of The Times contains more useful information than the whole of the historical works of Thucydides.”
—Richard Cobden (1804–1865)
