Hey everyone,

As you may have noticed, we have a new name, Tetra Tactics!

For legal reasons we could not use the name Card Craft.

Although we had to move quickly, we're very happy with our new name.

Tetra Tactics helps pay homage to our inspirations of Triple Triad and Tetra Master while also clearly speaking to the gameplay experience.

We hope you're as excited as we are for the upcoming 1.0 release tomorrow!

Thank you for your support and we hope you enjoy Tetra Tactics!
