- Heart of Crown Online - 15 February 2024
We revisit Heart of Crown in this 2nd Edition that brings the classic deck-building card game which has been lovingly played for the past 10 years and refines it for everyone to continue to enjoy for more years to come. As all things that come with age, this version polishes out the game after many years of play. This includes cards receiving balance treatments to address issues with strengths and weaknesses. Some cards are removed entirely while others are remade with new effects. The biggest updates come in the form of brand new illustrations for each of the princess cards as well as many of the common cards. These redesigns improve each card’s visibility and provide a fresh new look. And speaking of a fresh new look, we’re celebrating with an all-foil, extremely limited edition of the base game - we will only be printing enough to fulfill this campaign, and then it’s gone for good!

- February Patchnote Archive - 16 February 2022
1.1.2 r33 Bug Fix - Fixed an issue with a bad value that could happen when returning a private maid to Town - Fixed an issue where the Private Maid deck wouldn't draw a returned private maid should immediately be drawn 1.1.2 r32 Bug Fix - Card Select/Discard selection states were carrying over between popups allowing no cards to be selected.

- 1.1.1 r11 - 28 January 2022
Happy Friday! Two mysterious plaguing issues have been uncovered, repeated, and fixed! Issues - Fixed an issue where a game would lock when starting a new turn (this would be single player and multiplayer) due to Emily Raymond's ability and the abilities of some upcoming cards. - Discovered a possible fix for multiplayer games errantly thinking a user has abandoned the game when clearly no one has abandoned the game. Hopefully this is improved moving forward. Tweaks - Random Towns will now try to exclude cards that would be useless (i.e. Claire/Nena in Towns with no Events or Emily/Victoria in Towns without buildings) - Music will now alternate between the songs during a game for all of our sanity (looking into adding a new track soon) - Card information popup now animates in/out when hovering over a card instead of appearing/flickering - Update some levels to remove Town cards that are…
