Abstract is a trading card game that focuses on stock photography. That main objective is to collect enough cards to master a deck. Collecting cards can be done by trading unwanted cards, leveling up, playing games, and taking freebies when available.

1. Don't cheat! This means refreshing prize pages, double accounts, and taking cards without earning them. Play fair.

2. Have a trade post to display cards and activity. Keep a detailed trade post with exact cards earned, where they were earned, and the date.

3. Update trade posts at least once a month. I do encourage more frequent participation but understand we all have lives outside of TCGs.

4. Contact me with any email/url changes, hiatus, or quitting so I can keep the TCG current and up-to-date.

5. Treat fellow members and staff with respect. The point of TCGs is to play the game and have fun while doing it. No harassing of members or staff will be tolerated!

6. Join with a real name (ie. Catherine, Catherine2). If someone has already chosen your desired name just add a '2' at the end or choose another nickname. If you've read the rules add 'photography is art' in the comment box before joining. You'll receive an extra card.

7. Absolutely no hotlinking! Upload cards to a server such as photobucket.
