Friends, chat and challenges
Best KARDS friends,
What would be a card game without friends? In KARDS you can engage with your friends, chat and challenge them to a match. Let’s have a closer look at how this works exactly!

[h2]Your friends, your enemies[/h2]
You know what they are saying: Keep your enemies close, and your friends closer - or something along these lines.
The friend list in KARDS is important. You can challenge your friends to a match (and only them), and you can chat with them in the client.
You open the friend list and see your friends in KARDS by clicking the friend list icon in the top right corner of the main screen.

Adding a friend is easy! There are two ways to add a friend.
1) At the end of each match, you have the choice to add your opponent as a friend. Simply click “Add friend” at the end of the match.

2) Directly add someone to your friend list. All you need to know is their in-game name and their 4-digit ID.

In both instances, the invited player needs to accept the invitation to become your friend. Once the invitation is accepted, you will see a new friend on your friend list.
Once you have friends on your friend list, you can challenge them or chat with them.
You can, of course, always remove friends from your friend list. But who would be mean like that, right?
[h2]Challenges to accept[/h2]
One of the most fun features is a challenge to your friends. This will invite your friend to a match against you. You can challenge your friends directly from the friend list.

Simply find your friend and click on the small crosshair icon behind your friend’s name.
That will send a challenge request. Your friend can now accept or decline this request.

To avoid spamming your friends with requests, you can send only one challenge request at a time.
If the request is accepted, you will engage in a challenge match! Please remember that challenge matches do not count towards achievements or rank improvements.
Challenges are a great way to try out some new decks, theorycraft, or to simply test your strength and wits in a controlled way.
[h2]Chat, chat away[/h2]
The chat feature in KARDS is relatively new, introduced with patch 0.9.1240 (Early Access).
Similar to challenges, you can initiate chats with your friends directly from your friend list. Simply click on the chat bubble icon next to your friend’s name.

Clicking the chat-bubble initiates a chat with your friends and opens the chat window. This is straightforward.
You can also open the chat window by clicking the chat icon.

Happily chat away with your friends in 1-1 conversations!

Chat is available most of the time, however you cannot actively start a new chat when you are in a match. You can continue your existing chats though.
That’s it for now!
Please let us know how you like the chat and what other features you would like to see in the comments below.
