What is NBNL’s motorcycle card game?

The motorcycle card game is the free card game from No Bike No Life (NBNL), built on the classic trump-card principle: every card is a real motorcycle from the NBNL catalogue with real spec-sheet figures. You call a category — power, torque, weight or range, for example — and the higher figure (the lower one for weight) wins the round and both cards.

How do I play the motorcycle card game online?

At nbnl.net/en/card-game you set the game up in four steps: choose an opponent (the AI, a second player on the same device, the help mode with hints, or an online duel), choose a card deck, set the AI strength and decide the game length. The match then starts straight in the browser — no download and no app.

Does the motorcycle card game cost anything, and do I have to sign in?

The game is free. Without an account you play one match for free; from the second match on you need a free NBNL account. Online duels against real opponents always require an account, because both players have to be assigned to a room.

Which figures decide a round?

What gets compared are technical figures from the NBNL catalogue, up to six categories depending on the deck — typically power in kW or bhp, torque in Nm, displacement in cm³, weight in kg, top speed and range. For power, torque, displacement, speed and range the higher figure wins; for weight the lower one.

Can I play with two players or against real opponents?

Yes, in three variants: “2 players local” on one device, where only the active player’s card is ever visible; “online game” against a real opponent on another device via a room code you share by link or QR code; and single player against the AI.

How strong is the AI in the motorcycle card game?

There are four levels. “Beginner” picks at random 55 per cent of the time, “advanced” makes balanced decisions, “expert” consistently prioritises the strong categories on its card, and “cheater” is as demanding as it gets, with a very high chance of the AI winning.

How long does a match take?

That is up to you: “endless” runs until one player has no cards left, “max. rounds” ends after between 1 and 99 rounds of your choosing, and “time limit” after nine minutes at most. A short round is therefore played in a few minutes.

Which motorcycles are in the decks?

The cards come from the approved NBNL motorcycle catalogue — real production models with manufacturer data, bundled into decks by category and model year, sports or adventure bikes for instance. Auto decks reshuffle their 32 cards at every game start, so no two matches have the same line-up.
