Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game News

We've just released Expansion 5, Winter Schemes! This expansion adds new full-deck replacement characters for the Winter Court versions of Harry and Molly, and the decks for the Cold Days and Skin Games books.

We just released version 1.2.1 build to address a few issues that came up since we released 1.2.0. We wanted to get this out quickly, since a couple of the bugs affected multiplayer game setup.

Details:

• Setting up games with 3+ players using Steam networking should now work correctly. It was trying to access the double character slot for one of the players.
  
• We fixed the bug that caused the game to not recognize any DLC because we hadn't set the Winter Schemes expansion as "Coming Soon" yet, so it won't happen for any possible future expansions. (And no, there aren't more any currently under development for the digital version of the game at the moment beyond Winter Schemes)
  
• Using Molly or Mouse's stunt in multiplayer over Steam networking should now work correctly. The game wasn't decoding that message correctly.
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause the client that started a game in online play mode to sometimes disconnect when the game was started.
  
• Kincaid's Isolate & Eliminate card can no longer be used when there aren't both a valid target and a valid Foe to swap with on the table
  
• Solitaire game setup now remembers that you selected a random book instead of getting set to the book that was randomly selected.
  

Version 1.2.0 is now available. The major change in this update is the addition of Expansion 4: Dead Ends.

Full release notes:

• Expansion 4: Dead Ends, including decks for Jared Kincaid, Mortimer Lindquist, Changes, and Ghost Story.
  
• An entirely updated Online network mode, which uses a common server instead of requiring a direct connection between guests and the host device. This mode is intended to eliminate a number of problems with playing multiplayer over a network.
  
• The character selection interface is improved, and now works like the book selection interface.
  
• Multiplayer game setup screens are cleaner, and now show the book and game settings.
  
• A new "news" system now displays news on the start menu screen.
  
• An icon will now show up on the start screen when your Hidden Achievement account login times out.
  
• Game log now includes additional actions, including logging when a player passes their turn.
  
• Zooming the table talent card will show the correct side of the card when one of the Carpenters has activated their talent.
  
• Restoring the game now works properly in some cases where it wasn't before.
  
• When Molly Carpenter is prompted to modify a roll, the interface now shows the card with the roll being modified.
  
• Molly Carpenter can now modify Susan's "Infected" variant card rolls when they're teamed up in a 2-player game.
  
• The Tutorial no longer gets stuck after taking the "Beer at Mac's" advantage when the "Extra Card" option has been enabled for solitaire play.
  
• A number of cases where the game would get stuck when causing another player to discard have been fixed.
  
• The fate cost of a card that is discarded due to a failed range roll now includes any obstacles that modify the cost.
  
• Some more splash messages can be dismissed with a tap/click.
  
• Audio should loop properly now when a track ends.
  
• Molly can now borrow Harry's "Blasting Rod" stunt to attack targets that Harry was prevented from attacking himself.
  
• Resizing the window when playing in windowed mode on desktop now works much better.
  

Version 1.1.0 is now out. This update brings Hank Walker, Alias: Ra from the Sentinels of the Multiverse as a new expansion to the game. The Hank Walker, Alias: Ra deck was one of the expansions that was originally opened up as part of the Kickstarter campaign for the tabletop version of the game.

In addition to the new expansion, this version also includes a number of fixes and improvements:

• Added a few missing inbound and outbound markers.
  
• Susan's 'The Beast Within' no longer fails if it is the last card in Susan's hand when she rolls a - during play.
  
• Corrected a typo in Thomas' Misdirect Card
  
• The Back button on the Join Direct Game screen now works again.
  
• Scrollbars now have a consistent appearance in the Manual.
  
• The port field for direct network games now displays correctly.
  
• Action card dice rolls are now more obviously announced.
  
• It is now possible to cancel out of the login process when being prompted for a 2FA code.
  
• Add UI to request 2FA code via email.
  
• Fixed a number of cases where the game would think a card was zoomed and block further progression.
  
• Fixed the default animation speed. Tutorial now always uses default.
  
• Stats now format correctly when they have more than 2 digits.
  
• When viewing targets for an action card, more of the possible modifier cards on the board now are highlighted.
  
• It is no longer possible to play cards when an obstacle causes insufficient fate. This fixes bugs with Morgan Is Watching (Storm Front) and Charity's Distrust (Proven Guilty) allowing actions when exactly the correct amount of fate is available before the obstacle effect.
  
• The showdown triggers correctly when caused by Harry's "Insulting Costume" variant.
  
• Enchanted duster now adds the correct damage to a target.
  
• Added a link to Shannon Applecline's Strategy Guide on the Evil Hat site from the GUIDE section of the main menu.
  
• Table Talk Mode options are now available when setting up Hotseat games.
  
• Added a new solitaire difficulty option to give each character an extra card, making it the equivalent of a 3-player pass-and-play game.
  
• The expansion shop screen is now paged instead of scrollable.
