WeCards for beginners: your first week
WeCards are the digital trading cards inside the WeWard walking app. This page explains the basics so your first week of collecting goes smoothly.
Chapters and cards
Cards come in chapters of 9. Most chapters are places, like cities and countries, and some are events or seasons. Finishing all 9 cards of a chapter completes it.
Inside a chapter, the cards are numbered from #1 at the top left to #9, the holo card at the bottom right. Collectors talk about cards by chapter name and number, like Paris #3 or Sweden #9.
Four rarities
Each chapter has 3 commons (#1 to #3), 3 rares (#4 to #6), 2 super rares (#7 and #8) and 1 legendary (#9). Commons are easy to find, and the legendary is the hardest card in every chapter.
WeWard publishes the odds for each pack. From the first pack, about 60% of cards are commons and under 2% are legendaries. Better packs raise the chance of super rares and legendaries.
Duplicates are normal
You will get the same common many times. That is not wasted: duplicates are what you trade and gift to get the cards you are missing.
How trading works
Cards always move inside the WeWard app. WeWard has an exchange screen where you propose a trade, and the other person accepts or declines. You can complete 3 trades a day and have up to 20 open offers.
SwapTrek is where you find the right person first. You mark your missing cards and your spares, and SwapTrek shows who has your cards and who needs yours. You agree on the swap in the chat, then do it in WeWard.
Your first week
- Day 1: mark the chapters you have started. Tap the cards you are missing, and add your spare copies.
- Day 2: open Trade and send one offer to a collector who has cards you need and wants your spares.
- Day 3: gift a common you have several of to someone who needs it.
- Days 4 to 7: use your 3 daily trades on the chapters closest to done, and keep your lists up to date.
Stay safe
Only trade inside the WeWard app, never pay money for cards, and be careful with gifts, since they can't be undone. WeWard does not guarantee trades arranged on fan sites.
