  First things first: thank you to everyone who participated in our playtest.Since the playtests began, thousands of you have shared feedback, reported issues, and helped us better understand what works, what doesn't, and where the game should go next. Your input has been invaluable, and it's played a direct role in shaping the future of Mr. Magpie's Harmless Card Game.Since the playtest began, the team has made significant strides. We've implemented improvements, expanded on ideas, reworked systems, and made major progress across the game. There's still plenty to do, but we're excited about where things are heading, and we think you'll be excited too.In fact, we have some big announcements on the way. But Mr Magpie would terminate our employment if we broke our confidentiality clause, so you’ll have to wait a little longer to find out more. As we prepare for what's next, we'll be closing…

• SO MANY PERKS - 20 November 2025

  QoL changes: Added speed controls, accessible in the settings. Made tooltips nicer, with footnotes to explain some keywords Art Changes: Beautiful new board art Mini Magpie Hot new look for the perks. We know that many folks will probably miss the old rorschach designs. We'll miss them too! However, they were always intended to be placeholder. The main reason we changed them to the new look is to have them look more distinctive. Ideally it'll be possible to remember what they do just from looking at them. We haven't added art for all of them, but we're working on that. The majority do have art. Misc: Added Mult Reactivator and Money Reactivator to pool of cards you can buy from For streamers, we've updated our streamer kit to include updated + more visual assets to use to make it easier for you to make YouTube thumbnails. We hope you like it! Please feel free to reach out to us on disco…

• Time Overhaul, Walkabout, New Perks, QoL - 11 September 2025

• Streamer Friendly Music - 19 August 2025

  New original music!Our fantastic sound designer, Chris Bolte, has created new original music for the game. It plays in the shop. We like it a lot.Safe for streamersThis music will replace the old music which we had licensed. We own this music and we have made sure that streamers will NOT get any copyright notices from it on YouTube, Twitch or any other streaming platform. What about the old music?Change is hard. We understand if you got used to the old music and miss it. You can always listen to the old shop music here if you want to feel nostalgic Details for nerdsThis is all way more than most people would want to read, but if you're curious then go ahead! The way that music licensing works on YouTube is weird. We've learned the hard way that YouTube still flags licensed music even though the license is supposed to allow streamers and other folks to include the music as part of their…

• Alpha is Available! - 6 August 2025

  You can play the alpha version of Mr Magpie's Harmless Card Game today! We are using the steam playtest feature to distribute it. It is open to anyone. Click the "Request Access" button on the playtesting widget and you'll be granted access automatically. How is this different than a demo? This alpha is less complete than a demo would be. Everything is still subject to change, even major mechanics. The downside to this is that we might remove your favorite card or mechanic. The upside is that you can join our discord and advocate for your perspective. We take our players seriously and listen to all their concerns. We've already incorporated feedback from our pre-alpha on itch.io. In most demos, content is withheld so that players still want to buy the full game. We are not withholding any content with this alpha. We're giving you everything we have in the hopes that we'll be able to mak…
