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:
“There are two great rules in life, the one general and the other particular. The first is that every one can in the end get what he wants if he only tries. This is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is more or less of an exception to the general rule.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
—Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
