About LilRares

What is LilRares?

LilRares is a trading card business run by kids. At a LilRares shop, you pick an Animal, a Type, a Snack, an Item, and a Home on a tablet, and the shop prints your card on the spot. Every card has its own number and a surprise rarity. It's the AI version of the lemonade stand.

Who runs the shops?

Kids do, with a grown-up nearby. They pick a price, help buyers make their cards, take care of their customers, and learn from every sale. Shops pop up at events, fairs, and markets, around neighborhoods, and among friends.

What age is it for?

The cards and the game are made for kids 7 and up, and plenty of grown-ups collect them too. Shop owners are kids 7 and up, with a grown-up helping.

What do kids learn?

How to use AI to make something people want, and how a real business works: setting a price, selling, taking care of customers, and handling money. They also practice teamwork, communication, and kindness.

For parents

What information do you collect?

We don't ask kids for any personal information. When someone buys a card, the shop can add a grown-up's email to register the card to its owner. That's optional, it's never shown publicly, and we use it to tell owners about their cards and send updates. A card's public page shows the card, never who bought it.

Cards and playing

What's on a card?

Your Animal in the colors of its Type, holding its Item, with its Snack and its Home behind it. Each card also has a name, a Special move, four stats (Power, Guard, Speed, and Heart), its rarity, its own card number, and a QR code.

How rare is my card?

Every card is Common, Rare, Very Rare, or Legendary, and you only find out when it's made. Rarer cards get higher stats.

Shops and buying

Can I buy cards online?

Not yet. For now, real cards are made and printed at shops. We may add online ordering later on.

Want to run a shop?

Kids can open their own card shop. Coming soon. Join the waitlist to stay in the loop.
