• Making Shenanigans Free for Everyone - 11 December 2025

  Hey there!I’m planning to make Shenanigans free on Steam for everyone early 2026. One of the main reasons for this step is that the Friend’s Pass and invite code system has not been working as reliably as I would have liked. Since I’m not actively developing updates anymore, leaving the game in that state did not feel fair to players.I’m also planning to update the game to remove the faulty invite code system. Steam Lobbies and LAN Lobbies will remain available for players to connect and play together.Making the game free means anyone can jump in without needing passes or extra steps. I hope this makes the experience smoother and more accessible. It feels like the better solution for where the game is right now.Thank you to everyone who supported me and the game ♥️~ BenediktPS: Even though Shenanigans will be free, it will of course remain free of advertising, DLCs, and in-game shops.

• Changelog 1.2.8 - Online Lobbies & Upcoming Friend's Pass - 20 September 2023

  Online Lobbies This update introduces a new feature providing support for global lobbies. You'll now be able to create and browse lobbies anyone can join, no matter which version of the game they own (e.g. the Friend's Pass, see below). These lobbies can either be private (i.e. invite-only) or public. Public lobbies will show up in the in-game server list. Upcoming Friend's Pass In the coming days, the Shenanigans Friend's Pass will be released, available on the steam store page. The Friend's Pass is free and will allow players who do not own the game to play with others that do own it. It supports both LAN and online lobbies, as described above. Due to technical limitations, Steam lobbies (i.e. inviting friends via Steam) are not supported for cross-play between the purchased version of the game and the Friend's Pass. Hosting your own games, singleplayer mode and browsing public online…

• Changelog 1.1.0 - Singleplayer & NPCs - 28 July 2023

  Added a button to the main menu to create singleplayer games with 0 to 7 NPCs (1-8 total players). Playing without NPCs might result in unexpected/missing behavior for cards that interact with opponents. — e.g. stealing coins from or giving dice to an opponent won't do anything. Added options in the lobby settings to change the behavior of NPCs. How often should NPCs play cards, if possible? Should NPCs primarily play cards favorable or unfavorable for themselves? Should NPCs always target the first, last or a random player when selecting opponents?

• Early Access Release: February 24, 2023 - 10 February 2023

  We are very happy to announce that after almost 1.5 years in development, Shenanigans will launch into Early Access on February 24, 2023 as scheduled! Prepare for pure confusion and chaos, set up divorce and friendship termination forms, and pray that the RNG God will be merciful to you. We have been working on the basic concept of Shenanigans for a long time, constantly improving and expanding it. Of course, this release is not the end of it. With the help of feedback from the community and ideas from the team that are yet to be implemented, we will continue to expand and improve the game. Why Early Access? The team behind Shenanigans is a small group of friends who have spent a lot of time developing and improving the game. However, we are aware that 4-5 people are not enough to test the game extensively, find all the bugs or fully flesh out new ideas. We've reached a point with devel…
