Hello everyone!

Following the announcement of this month’s card balance changes on October 24th, we have deployed these changes on November 1st. Check out the dev blog for more details about these balance changes: Card Updates: Efficiency.

This patch also includes several bug fixes and some additions in anticipation for the KARDS mobile beta 2, including a new KARDS Account Settings button accessible in the top-right cog menu. Note that at the moment, this feature is only useful for participants in the mobile beta. If you are participating in the beta test, read more about account linking.

We thank all of our players and the KARDS Community in general for reporting bugs and discussing the game balance. If you want to get involved, join us on Discord!
