100% Orange Juice News

We're excited to announce a second Community Card Pack, and with it, an art contest!

We still have a massive number of card suggestions from the previous community card contest, and these six new cards are also based on those.

Like last time, we've consulted Orange Juice about a name and general art theme for each new card.

The art contest is now open until February 28, 2019!

Art can be submitted for any number of cards and any number of times. Submissions must include the tag #communitypack and the name of the Card they are meant for. The winning entries will be used on the cards, and we will work with Orange Juice to provide flavor texts to match the artwork. Finally, the new Community Card Pack (name subject to change) will be released as a free update.

Please note the theme listed on each card. This should be used as a general direction for the art. Full rules for the contest can be found at the end of the post.
