Trades

How to trade cards in Cards Quest: the offer board, direct proposals, card values and the rules of a trade.

Two ways to trade

The board: what other players are giving away, open to anyone. You find something you like and offer what you put in return, taken from your own collection.
The direct proposal: you pick a player, what you give them and what you ask for. They accept or decline.

You post the cards you are giving, and nothing else: nobody can see your collection, so asking for one precise card almost never worked.
Interested players offer you what they have. Every proposal shows up under “Yours”, and you pick the one you like; the others fall away.
You can have up to 5 open offers at a time.

Mark the cards you are after from their sheet, anywhere in the game: the “I want this one” button.
The board then flags the offers giving one away, and the “What you want” view shows only those.

Each side gives at least one card, and at most six.
The value is up to you: a lopsided trade is flagged before you send it (when the weaker lot is worth less than half of the other), but you can still propose it.
A card’s value depends on its rarity and its variant: a Shiny card is worth five times more, a Golden card twenty times more.
Only cards are traded, never coins.

The “Yours” tab gathers what is under way: what needs your answer, what needs theirs, and your offers on the board. Your finished trades live on their own page, “See my history”.
Until the trade is done, you keep your cards. If one of you no longer owns them when accepting, the trade is cancelled.
You can have up to 12 pending proposals, with at most 3 to the same player.
Cards received through trades complete your collection, but they do not count for franchises or for the pulled-cards quest.
