Welcome back!
This update introduces a bold gameplay change: a complete rework of the card draw system.
🔄 A Brand-New Draw Mechanic
The draw pile is now divided into 4 separate piles based on card types:
Ritual
Attack
Skill
Ability
Whenever you draw a card, you can freely choose which pile to draw from, one card at a time.
If a pile runs empty, a reshuffle button will appear below it — though reshuffling costs 1 draw.
This seemingly simple change brings a whole new layer of strategy and experience.
Players now have far more control over how their turns unfold.
In fact, it feels like the system forces you to think and make intentional decisions.
During internal testing, I found myself constantly evaluating the situation before every draw — building a sense of anticipation.
And as the draw progresses, that anticipation is either fulfilled… or not.
Of course, the system isn’t without risk:
The learning curve is definitely steeper, and new players may struggle to understand when to draw from which pile.
And in long runs, constantly choosing which pile to draw from might become a bit tiring.
But these are just my predictions.
Your real feedback will be invaluable in helping me improve this system going forward.
🛠️ Card Changes (to fit the new draw system)
Drawblade
Old: Keep drawing until an Attack is found, discarding all non-Attack cards
New: Draw 1 card from the Attack pile. That card costs -1 this turn. Exhaust.
Block Perception
Old: Discard up to 3 cards from the top of the draw pile; heal 5 for each
New: Discard exactly 2 cards from the top of the draw pile; heal 7 for each
⚠️ Some cards are temporarily disabled because they don’t work well with the new system:
Hide the Price
Twist Fate
☠️ Changes to Curse and Torment Cards
When gained during combat, Curses and Torment cards will now be placed on top of a random draw pile
The effect “gaining Taint when retained” has been removed
So now, you’re free to play, keep, or discard them — entirely your call.
That’s everything for this update.
I truly hope you enjoy the new draw system. If anything feels confusing, annoying, or just not right — please do leave your feedback, either here or in-game!
