# Skills

> Optional cards that add a twist to Standard matches.

Skills are cards you can bring into a match for an extra move. They're optional: Casual matches have no skills at all, so pure strategy decides.

## How skills work

* Skills are on in **Standard** rooms, and in **VS Bot** and **Quick Match** with **Skills On**.
* Bring up to **2 skills**. Each one usually has **1 charge** per match.
* Play a skill on your turn, before you call. A skill never ends your turn, and you can play both in the same turn.
* Every card has its own number. That number belongs to you until you play the card, so rivals can't call it. Nullify's number is the exception: it stays open.

> **[Wild Daub (7)](https://app.thebingofi.xyz/market/1)**
>
> The number on the card is marked on your board right away.

> **[Double Call (22)](https://app.thebingofi.xyz/market/2)**
>
> Calls the card's number for everyone, then you still make your normal call.

> **[Ghost Call (13)](https://app.thebingofi.xyz/market/3)**
>
> The card's number marks only your board, and nobody can call it after that.

> **[Cell Swap (12)](https://app.thebingofi.xyz/market/4)**
>
> Moves the card's number to any cell you pick on your board.

> **[Nullify (25)](https://app.thebingofi.xyz/market/5)**
>
> Cancels a rival's skill and marks the card's number on your board.

## Not pay-to-win

* Every copy of a skill does exactly the same thing. Rarity changes the look and how many exist, never the power.
* Nullify can cancel a rival's skill, so no skill is a sure thing.
* In Casual, nobody has skills, so everyone plays on equal terms.

## How to get skills

Skills are NFTs on the GIWA testnet. You buy them in the [Market](https://app.thebingofi.xyz/market) with free test ETH, then link your wallet and add them to your loadout before a Standard match. [Web3 on TheBingoFi](/web3) walks you through it.
