Deck of Haunts News

[p]Santa has crashed his sleigh and Krampus is filling in for him. Instead of gifting things to those pesky humans, he's gifting them to you, the cold beating stone heart... in tiny little gift boxes.[/p][p][/p][p]Your haunted domains are now not only dressed with an ice cold winter coating, but you'll find some extra help from 5 new cards, a new creature and a new room.[/p][p][/p][p]You can now let Krampus run around your domain by building the new Workshop.
He will go around slapping humans with his birch rod, and if he finds a corpse he'll teleport it to the workshop, where it will be gift wrapped as an offering to you, the evil entity.
You'll get bonus AP from opening those gifts![/p][p][/p][p]We also added a completely revamped event night system, and a long requested feature to the game, an actual visual fence so you can more easily notice the buildable area.
