BAYOU BISHOPS
OFFICIAL COLLECTOR CARD GAME RULES
2026 SEASON

HOW YOU RECEIVE COLLECTOR CARDS

Collector Cards cannot be purchased directly.

You automatically receive Collector Cards when your total purchases reach $20.00 or more in the store. This includes raffle purchases.

• Every $20.00 spent = 1 Collector Card
• $200.00 spent = 10 Collector Cards

All purchases are tracked and added together. If you spend $3, $5, $10, or $15, those amounts roll forward until your total reaches $20.00. No dollar is wasted.

Each Wednesday, we total all purchases made from the previous Wednesday through the current Tuesday night. Cards are mailed out every Wednesday so they arrive by Friday for playing and trading.

HOW CARDS ARE DRAWN

Cards are sent randomly.

Cards are created in complete sets of 14 (the exact number needed to complete one map). Multiple full sets are mixed together in a drawing bin. When fulfilling orders, we draw blindly from the bin.

You will receive duplicates. Trading is part of the game.

CHOOSING A CHARACTER HATCH

You may request which Character Hatch you would like your cards drawn from — but only if that Hatch is currently in circulation.

At checkout, use the Note section to tell us which Hatch to draw from.

This guarantees your card comes from that Hatch. It does not guarantee a specific card.

Bishop is the first Hatch in play.

THE MAP SYSTEM

There will be 13 total maps released throughout 2026.
Each map belongs to one Marsh King.
Each map requires 14 specific cards to complete.

Maps are always free.

You receive the map automatically with your first Collector Card mailing for a new Character entering play.

You may draw from previous Hatches at any time during the year if you are still completing a map.

CARD STRUCTURE (PER HATCH LEADER)

Each Hatch Leader set includes 14 cards:

• 1 Character Card
• 6 Common Cards
• 3 Rare Cards
• 2 Power Cards
• 2 Wild Cards

COMPLETING A MAP

When you receive cards, mark your map however you prefer:

• Buttons
• Markers
• Stars
• Collectible game pieces from the shop

Once all 14 spaces on your map are filled, your map is complete.

To receive your Key Card:

Email a photo of your completed map and cards.

After verification, your exclusive Key Card will be mailed to you.

Key Cards are only issued upon completion of a map.

BISHOP'S POWER CARDS

Forge Card
Allows you to forge any missing card on Bishop's map — but only when used with the Blueprint Card.

Blueprint Card
Allows you to create any missing card on Bishop's map. Without the Forge Card, it remains inactive.

Wild Card – Belle Eveque
She carries the power of persuasion. If she wants a card, she claims it. On your completed map, she may stand in place of any missing card.

Sha-Pee-Chay Card
This card cannot be sold.
This card cannot be traded.
This card must be given.

Whoever receives it may select one item from the Sha-Pee-Chay shelf in the store.

USING POWER OR WILD CARDS TO COMPLETE A MAP

When submitting a completed map:

If a Forge + Blueprint combination or a Wild Card is present on your map, it automatically counts as any missing card required to complete the 14-card set.

You only need to have the appropriate Power or Wild Card physically present when submitting your photo.

TRADING

Duplicates are expected.

The trading group exists so players can exchange cards and complete maps.

Collector Cards are designed to reward loyal supporters, encourage community interaction, and build a full 13-map collection over the 2026 season.
