Shrink Files trading cards
Collect giants and tiny men. Scratch the foil. Win the Showdown.
The men of our stories, big and small: the giants and size thieves who make other men smaller, and the shrunken guys who end up in their hands. Each one has a card of his own, with his Strength, Size Control, Dominance and height. Collect them in your binder, scratch them open, and put them up against the computer in Size Showdown.

Why cards?
ShrinkingMen has always been about the men: the gym bullies, landlords, giants and gods who change size, and the ones who end up in their hands. The cards give each of them a face, a height and a set of stats, so the characters from every story, comic, recording and game sit together in one collection.
They’re also our way of saying thank you. Reading, listening, playing and coming back all earn points towards new cards, so the more of ShrinkingMen you enjoy, the bigger your binder gets. Every card tells you where its man appears, so a card you like is also a story to read next.
Four kinds of card
Silver starter cards 14 to collect
The everyday heroes and villains of Shrink Files. Your first 2 are free when you join; after that each one costs 40 points and you scratch it open to see who you’ve got.
Violet rare cards 18 to collect
Holographic cards for the bigger names, from Shrink Files and Shrinkwave. They can’t be bought: open them with 100 points.
Gold Shrink Pack cards 10 so far, one a month
An exclusive gold card comes with every monthly Shrink Pack and appears in your binder as soon as you own the pack. Missed one? Choose any past pack card for 250 points.
Boss cards won, never sold
The hardest to get. The Collector is yours when you’ve collected every rare card, and there are boss cards for the top of the Size League too. Nobody can buy them.

Size Showdown: how to play
- Best of five. First to three rounds wins. You need 5 cards of your own to play for points; anyone can play a practice game.
- He goes first. The computer lays his card face down, so he can’t change his mind.
- Spin the wheel. It picks the stat for the round: Strength, Size Control or Dominance (highest wins), or Shrink, where the lowest total wins and your smallest men become your best.
- Pick your card. Tap any card to see it full size and check its stats first. Each card plays once per game.
- Win points. Your first win each day earns 10 points (up to 70 a week). Beat the weekly boss, a gold card with +15 on every stat, for 50 more.

Questions
Do I need an account?
Yes. Your binder lives in your library, so it needs a free ShrinkingMen account. Making one takes a minute and gives you your first two cards straight away.
Do I have to buy anything?
No. You can collect cards with free points from visiting, reading, playing and the quiz. Buying things earns points faster, and each Shrink Pack comes with its own gold card.
Can I buy points?
No. Points can’t be bought and have no cash value: they’re a thank-you for being here.
I bought Shrink Packs before the new site. Do I get their cards?
Yes. Sign in with the email address you shopped with and every pack you own has its gold card waiting in your binder.
Where do the characters come from?
Every card is a man from our stories, whether he’s the giant or the one who got shrunk: Shrink Files issues, Shrinkwave, Fetish Audio and the Land of Size games. Each card says where he appears, so a card you like is also a story to read.
Are all the characters adults?
Yes. Every character on every card is over 18.
