+All numbers are subject to tweaking and balancing
+
+**Main currency:** notes 🎶 (soft)  
+**Secondary currency:** gems 💎 (hard)  
+**Tertiary currency:** _tbd_   (if $ value disassociation becomes relevant)
+
+## Rating
+character independant
+card based quality
+-> upgrade/improvement mechanics
+
+Quality: 
+- 1: bad
+- 2: ok
+- 3: good
+- 4: great
+- 5: epic
+- 6: shiny
+
+2 bad cards = 1 ok card
+3 ok cards = 1 good card
+4 good cards = 1 great card
+5 great cards = 1 epic card
+
+Shiny cards can only be dropped with 0.5% chance or upgraded using a store purchased item
+
+## Entity relations and stuff
+Single card of any character  
+belongs to a band/group  
+which could be part of their topmost genre (?)  
+
+Completed bands reward cosmetics and XP (scaled to band size)
+
+Band levels by collecting duplicates (?) as a long term hook
+
+## Profile
+Steal profile layout from Amaan
+with more customization
+
+## Other
+Required
+- detailed card history
+
+Leaderboards
+ - All time
+ - Monthly (resets every 1st of the month to encourage conversion of non-whales)
+Top positions get awarded additianal XP + Gems
+
+Each collect += 10 XP (Shiny += 100)  
+Each upgrade += 25 XP
+
+
+Daily reward -> notes
+Weekly reward -> gems  
+Monthly reward -> Pack with 1 shiny card guaranteed (included)  
+Each reward tier also grants XP
+
+## Optional  
+### Friends list  
+could be used for a "social feed" outlining friends shiny drops and purchases (availability and social proof)
+
+### referral system 
+after a referred friend collects 100 cards, both get gems
+
+### archievements as profile badges  
+- [50, 100, 500, 1000, 10k] Cards collected  
+- [100k, 500k, 1m] Notes spent total  
+   - do not encourage saving
+   - players with low funds (notes) could be targeted by high item discounts with a higher chance of conversion   
+
+- [100, 500, 1k] Trades completed (Limit trades per hour? Pay for trade limit reset)
+
+- [7d,1m,6m,1y] Daily streak
+   - ties in to the social feed to apply pressure to friends to keep up
+
+- [10,50,100] Shinies present in collection
+- [5k, 10k, 100k] Bad/ok/good cards in collection (each q level separately)
+   - Discourage converting cards to currency, purchase instead
