[h2]Reveal of the Week[/h2]

Some of you might have noticed that last week's card reveals were especially explosive. This week, we've got a couple more cards we'd like to share. If you’re a fan of those iconic, cheesy action movies from the 80s, then some of these might tickle your fancy.

And we've got some great news for Little Lars players everywhere. These cards will be accompanied by a strikingly fashionable new skin! Rejoice!

This ensemble makes up our very first BFF Update, made up of regular content updates to the game, focusing on a specific character.



Little Lars' BFF Update is out next Tuesday, June 13th!

[h2]Mayor’s Message[/h2]

Hey folks, it’s me, the Mayor of Friendtown. What a treat it’s been to see so many new faces around here since the grand opening last month. It's certainly been keeping me busy. In fact, I’m proud to say that Buddy’s Bulletin has a new sponsor! You'll be hearing much more about them and their business at the IGN Summer of Gaming Showcase, this Monday!

Many of you have been asking about juicy gossip around town. As a Mayor, I do, of course, hear it all. As a matter of fact, I was speaking to Little Lars just yesterday who told me a particularly funny joke! You had to be there. Ha-ha.

Truly a lovely friend!

Anyways, thank you for reading the Mayor’s Message from yours truly, the Mayor. That’s me!
