Card album ideas: 15 collection themes for Wiki67

How albums work

An album has a name and any number of your cards. You create one from your profile, where the album list lives, then Add cards opens the card picker: tap a card to add it, tap again to take it out. One copy can sit in several albums at once.

You choose which albums show on your profile. On a public profile, anyone with your link can open them, and players with an account can give them a thumbs-up. The cover shows the album's latest cards.

Your profile also has a showcase: up to 8 cards, shown bigger than in the collection. Think of it as your best page.

Cards in an album are safe from mass discard. A card you sell, send, trade or discard leaves its albums.

15 album ideas

1. Flags of the world

Flags are drawings, and Wiki67 shows drawings whole, so flag cards look clean. Start with the odd ones: Flag of Nepal, the only national flag that is not a rectangle, and the dragon of the Flag of Bhutan or the Flag of Wales. Then the classics: Flag of Japan, Flag of Brazil.

2. Castles

Neuschwanstein Castle, Himeji Castle, Edinburgh Castle, Bran Castle, Château de Chambord. Narrow it down for a sharper album: castles of one country, or only castles on a hill.

3. Dinosaurs

The all-time favourite theme. Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Velociraptor, Spinosaurus. Hundreds of lesser-known species have their own articles, so the album never really ends.

4. Formula One drivers

Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Kimi Räikkönen. Go for world champions only, or one team's drivers. Footballers, tennis players or NBA stars work the same way.

5. Memes

6-7, one of the two cards on Wiki67's home page, Doge (meme), Kabosu (dog), Grumpy Cat, Moo Deng. Some meme articles only have a fair-use picture: Wiki67 hides those images, and the card shows its No image placeholder. Still collectible, just less pretty.

6. Famous animals

Laika, Hachikō, Larry (cat), Stubbs (cat), the honorary mayor of an Alaskan town, and Unsinkable Sam. A cats-only album is a strong sub-theme.

7. Space

Apollo 11, International Space Station, Voyager 1, Hubble Space Telescope, Saturn. Split it later: planets, missions, spacecraft.

8. The New 7 Wonders

A closed set, so you know when it is done: the seven New 7 Wonders of the World. Great Wall of China, Petra, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, Colosseum, Taj Mahal. Place cards carry a small world map with their position marked, which makes a travel album look great.

9. Bridges

Golden Gate Bridge, Tower Bridge, Charles Bridge, Millau Viaduct. Bridges are easy to underrate and hard to stop collecting.

10. Volcanoes

Mount Fuji, Mount Vesuvius, Krakatoa, Mauna Loa, Eyjafjallajökull. Bonus points if you can say the last one.

11. Famous paintings

Mona Lisa, The Starry Night, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, Girl with a Pearl Earring, The Scream. An art museum on your profile.

12. Ships and shipwrecks

Titanic, Vasa (ship), Mary Rose. The game counts ships and their wrecks as Vehicles, so they sit well with the next theme.

13. Machines that made history

Concorde, Shinkansen, LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard, Ford Model T, Volkswagen Beetle, DMC DeLorean. Trains, planes and cars in one album, or one each.

14. Food from everywhere

Pizza Margherita, Sushi, Croissant, Ramen, Pho, Pierogi, Karelian pasty. Your favourite dinner is a card too. Desserts make a good second album: Tiramisu to start.

15. Weird Wikipedia

Emu War, Great Molasses Flood, Toilet paper orientation, Bielefeld conspiracy. The album people open just to read the titles. There are 15 picks in our list of weird Wikipedia articles.

Finding the cards

Packs are random, so a themed album fills from four places:

• Packs. Every card you pull lands in your collection, and the card picker's search finds it when you add cards.
• The market. Search a title, then buy. Prices start at the tier's base price, from 6 coins for a Common to 500 for an Ultimate. See the market guide.
• The wishlist. Tap the heart on a card you want, up to 1000 cards. You get an alert when someone lists one.
• Trades. Under any card, its holders list shows who has it, online players first. Ask for it with Trade: the trading guide explains how.

Turn an album into thumbs-up

The leaderboard has an Albums board. It ranks each player by their most upvoted album, with a weekly view that counts the thumbs-up given this week. Each Sunday at 15:00 UTC the weekly top 10 win prizes: details in the leaderboard guide.

• Make it public. Only albums displayed on a public profile are ranked.
• Name it well. A short, clear name tells people what to expect: « Every F1 champion » beats « Cars 2 ».
• Set the cover. The cover shows the album's latest cards, so add your best-looking cards last.
• Share the link. Albums on a public profile can be shared straight from the album. Anyone can open it; players with an account can upvote it.
• Finish the set. Closed sets like the New 7 Wonders feel done. Open themes like dinosaurs keep people coming back.
