Major Content Drop Tease #1: Cards

[p]As you might have read before, we're working on a big free content update for Deck of Haunts!
Today, we give you a first sneak preview.[/p][p][/p][p]A first area where the game will get more beefy, is cards.
Here are three examples we selected that are ready for the public eye, including one with art![/p][p][/p][p]We wanted to create some cards that have an effect based on how you build your house, especially some that would have their effect vary on a room's tile size.[/p]
  • [p]Architect's Toll: Per tile in the room: Drain 1. If the target turns insane: Banish.[/p]
  • [p]Crushing Architecture: Per tile in the room: deal 1 Damage.[/p]
  • [p]Unstable Foundation: Block all special rooms. Banish[/p]
[p][/p][p]These are just three of the many more cards that are coming in the future.
If you have other card ideas that you want to share, feel free to do so in the comments![/p][p][/p][p]We'll be back next week to highlight another area of the game that we'll be adding content for 👀.[/p][p][/p][p]If you like the game and the direction we're headed in, feel free to leave a review, as this helps us more than you think!👻[/p][p]And again, a big thank you for playing and all your feedback ❤️[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
