0.1.2 Patch Notes

Added a New Win Condition - The Stronghold (Note: New rules for Win Condition are at the end of the Rule Book). The Stronghold is a Structure that you must defend, for if it falls, you lose the game. This allows less aggressive playstyles to work well, and adds a layer of strategy we feel the game has been missing.

We made some VERY helpful changes this patch, including Card Search! You may now search a card by name, Health, or Attack. We also added Card settling in the land, structure, discard, and deck areas which snaps your cards to that respective area to keep everything nice and organized! All Outcards and Lands have been Color Coded to help new players represent differences between Card Types. Added the new “Offering” Ability (See Kicker from MTG as a reference here: https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Kicker) for select Corn cards. In addition made vast improvements to clarity of rules, see RED text for changes.

CardWars Alpha Prototype Patch 1 05/27/2024

Summary
All changes to the rules document are in red.
Clarified some card definitions, turn phase rules and spill over damage. You can no longer initiate an auction if you are ahead in the economy. The functions of flying and ranged creatures have more stipulations attached to them to make them less mindlessly powerful. Properly defined all sorts of terms and functions that were unclear. Many cards that frequently defined games they were in have been changed, like Orphanage and Dig Tunnel. I chopped the health down of a lot of cards in a potentially misguided attempt to speed the game up overall. Also, added several fanart cards and a secret new mystery creature!
We will see if I made too many changes all in one go- thank you all for your feedback so far!
