Cards 2.0 will be rolled out shortly after midnight CST tonight. At this time, ALL matches and drafts in progress will be cancelled and your points refunded. Players will be required to update their game clients before continuing.
Global access to the beta servers on PC is also being shutdown today; PC clients will now only connect to the LIVE game servers. Expect that update to come shortly.
We couldn't be more excited about the rollout tonight!

Cards 2.0 Is Live!
Our major revamp is officially released! Open your complimentary packs, take a look at your cards, build some new decks and play some games! A lot has changed and we couldn't be more excited to finally have this out!
Starter Cards Awarded
We realized that many of our veteran players do not have the new starter set of cards, which cannot be collected by any other means. We've just finished running a script that awarded the complete starting collection to all veteran players (new players already have them). You may need to restart the app to view the update to your collection!
Please note that this only includes cards that are automatically given to the player on account creation. Other starting cards can be earned by leveling up factions! You earn all of a faction's starter cards at level 10.

Escape Hotfix
Due to a critical bug with this card's functionality, the card Escape has been hotfixed to only return your own units to your hand, and its cost has been reduced. We apologize for this error. In the interest of consistency, we will NOT be changing this card back to its previous state in the future.
FIRST UNLOCKABLE CASTLE!!
Hey everyone, we've just announced our first unlockable custom castle! This castle will be an exclusive reward for ranked play in the month of August! Check out this thread for screenshots and more information on this and future custom castles! http://www.cardsandcastles.com/forum/vi ... f=3&t=3513
Steam Early Access!
We're excited to announce our much awaited Steam version of the game is finally coming! We will be launching EARLY ACCESS on Steam on September 18th! The Steam client will be fully cross platform, so players can use the same Cards and Castles account on both mobile and on Steam. Early Access will cost $9.99, but will come with a special bundle of $50 worth of cards and content AND an EXCLUSIVE CUSTOM CASTLE only for Early Access buyers. Existing players will be able to grab this bundle for their mobile accounts too by connecting through Steam!
We're looking forward to the launch on September 18th and we hope all of you are too!

Ranking System Flip
In order to make the ranking system more clear, and differentiate it from the level up system, we've reversed the display of the ranking numbers in game. Instead of displaying ranks as moving from 1 at the bottom to 20 at the top, rank 1 is now the top rank and rank 20 is the starting rank. We think this makes more intuitive sense for a ranking system, and more accurately reflects the difficulty of achieving high ranks. This change is ONLY a display change and has no bearing on current rank, standing or rewards. If you are confused about this change, feel free to ask questions on our forums!
We had planned to roll out this change at the end of the month, but we wanted the change to be in place before the start of our Steam beta. This is also a reminder that the August season will end soon, and you must reach rank 16 (previously rank 5) to collect your WINDMILL CASTLE reward when the season ends!

New Season Begins!
A new season has begun, and many of you (depending on your timezone) have received your Windmill Castle for reaching rank 16! Congratulations! There will be another castle for September, but we have not revealed that yet! We wanted to let everyone know that asynchronous games that were queue before this post had an issue with the custom castle selection, and so you may not see your Windmill Castle if you tried to use it in an asynchronous queue earlier today. Queues (not games, but actually entering the queue for a new game) started AFTER this post have the issue resolved and should correctly display your castle. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Server Maintenance
Due to a planned server upgrade, all game services will be unavailable for a small window (2-5 minutes) on Friday, September 11th between the hours of 13:30 UTC and 16:30 UTC. Please be advised that games in progress during these hours may be interrupted. We thank you for your understanding in this matter!
