Dear KARDS players, friends, and WWII enthusiasts,

It is with great pleasure and excitement that we present the freshly updated KARDS roadmap.



The roadmap is a regularly updated, high-level overview of the milestones and important events for KARDS. The roadmap contains only the highest level of features; not listed on the roadmap are smaller projects we are working on and general KARDS improvements. Balancing changes is also not listed on the roadmap, even though they are ongoing and essential for our development work. Keep in mind that this is a living document and that the events further in the future will receive more info as time passes by.

Without further ado, let's have a look at what we can expect in the coming months!

[h3]March (completed)[/h3]
Catalyst mini-expansion with 24 new cards

[h3]April: Easter event[/h3]
While not exactly a traditional easter egg hunt, we have a lovely Easter event ready for you in KARDS. :)

[h3]April: KARDS 1st anniversary[/h3]
On April 15th, 2021, we celebrate the first anniversary of KARDS. Expect goodies and extra fun!

[h3]May: KARDS Spring expansion[/h3]
One of the two major KARDS expansions in 2021, the Spring expansion comes with a sizable amount of new cards and results in a new KARDS experience.

[h3]Q3: Mini-expansion with new cards[/h3]
Similar to the Catalyst expansion, this release will build on the Spring expansion introducing new cards.

[h3]Q4 Winter expansion[/h3]
This expansion is one of the two highlights this winter. Similar to previous major winter expansion, expect to see new cards and cool game features!

[h3]Q4 World Championship[/h3]
The second highlight this winter next to the expansion is the KARDS World Championship! Like the previous World Championships, we will have qualifiers and then the actual tournament with a grand final.

[h3]Mobile Release[/h3]
The mobile version for Android and iOS devices is highly anticipated, allowing you to connect and play anywhere you want. Initially scheduled for Q1 2021, we have moved the mobile version's release as we need more time to develop and deliver a great experience on your mobile device. We don't want to compromise quality for a rushed delivery that doesn't pay justice to your (and our) expectations. We are still firmly committed and very excited about the mobile version as this is our current top priority regarding the big picture of KARDS.

The roadmap is painted in broad strokes and shows only the highest level of what we have planned. There are many smaller features and improvements which will come along the road.

As you can see, the rest of 2021 is packed with KARDS excitement and good things to come!

The whole team is thrilled for the future and would love to hear your feedback! Join our KARDS Discord or use the comments below.
