Merry KARDS community,

With great delight, we released the second update in December (the first one brought 10 deck slots) on December 20th to bring permanent economy improvements, daily holiday gifts, and bug fixes.

The economic changes include 100 new National Progression levels, 10% more Special cards in card packs, and more ( 👉Check out the dev blog for details)

We have daily gifts ready for you with the upcoming Christmas celebrations and winter holidays. Those daily Holiday gifts include unique seasonal decorations, card packs, double XP, and more. Of course, our traditional festive visuals are ready to make the Holiday season even more pleasing. Stay tuned for more info on this shortly.

We also have several bug fixes ready with this update.

All feedback is appreciated and most welcome. Please use the comments below or join us on the KARDS Discord.


IMPROVEMENTS & CHANGES
  • 100 new levels for each major nation have been added to the National Progression System. The level cap has been raised from previously 250 to now 350.
  • The drop-rate of Special cards in standard card packs has been increased by 10%. The drop rate has been improved from the previous 4.0% to now 4.4%.
  • The random card rewards have been changed into wildcard rewards in the National Progression system. For a random special card, you now get a generic special wildcard instead. For a random limited card, the reward has been exchanged to a generic limited wildcard in about 70% of cases and two standard wildcards in about 30% of cases.
  • Added generic wildcards as an additional Draft reward. This wildcard reward scales with the number of wins you got in the draft, so the more wins you get, the higher the chance is to get a high rarity wildcard. In exchange, the chance to get a random card as a reward has been lowered.
  • Holiday event items have been added to become available during Christmas and the Holiday season.
BUG FIXES
General bug fixes
  • Naval Bombardment was sometimes not updating the cost correctly when spawned in hand. Fixed.
  • There was an error in the mulligan of campaigns. Fixed. Fixed campaign mulligan bug

Hello friends!

We are about to enter the holiday season and we at 1939 want you to enter it in style by giving you a small, but important update. We have been monitoring the progression system we introduced earlier this year and while we are generally happy with it, there is always room for improvement.

We have several adjustments slated, which we intend to go out with over the coming months.

The first of these updates is coming just in time for some Christmas crunch. In this dev blog we will go over these changes.

A Very Special Christmas

One of the most common complaints about the new system is that special rarity cards are more of a bottleneck than elites to collect. To address this, we are adjusting the drop rate of specials in normal packs, increasing it by 10%.

After the change, there is a 4.40% chance for each card in a pack being special, instead of 4%. The 0.40% are coming from standard mainly (0.30%) and limited (0.10%) picks, so chance of an elite remains the same.

Holidays Gone Wild



Another common complaint is how hard it is to get generic wildcards in the game. This makes the collection grind harder, especially when it comes to the minor nations. To solve this we put our collective heads together and, after recovering from the resulting concussion, decided to adjust the reward schema of the national levels.

Currently, you regularly get a random card of a given rarity when reaching a new level. This reward always felt a bit underwhelming because the random card rarely was something of interest. We are replacing these rewards with generic wildcards instead. For a random special card, you now get a generic special wildcard instead, a considerable improvement. For a random limited card, the reward has been exchanged for a generic limited wildcard in about 70% cases and two standard wildcards in about 30% of cases. This is to give you a better spread of wildcards at different rarity levels.

This has the additional benefit of making it easier for newer players to start grinding up a new nation. With the current system, the rewards from leveling up a specific nation track are a bit too nation focused, but with the new generic wildcards, switching to a new nation is less of a hassle.

A Gift That Keeps on Giving



As we were tinkering with the national levels anyway, we decided to throw an extra 100 levels into the mix, so once the update hits, you will be able to grind up to 350 levels for each nation. The reward structure for these new levels is largely the same, including new emotes (4 per nation) and a brand new card back at level 350.

Raise your hand if you aim to make grinding to 350 a New Year’s resolution!

Give Me M0ar!



But wait, there is more! We are also adding generic wildcards as a possible reward in draft.

The % chance for this comes mostly from the random card reward category, so after this change goes live, you should get a random card less often. As with other draft rewards, the wildcard rewards scale with the number of wins you got in the draft, so the more wins you got, the higher the chance is to get a high rarity wildcard.

That is all, the update is slated to hit on Monday, December 20th.

See you on the battlefield, commander!

The 2021 KARDS World Championship is in the books and our new KARDS World Champion is Jking7!



We send our sincerest congratulations to Jking7 on his hard-fought win to cap off a fantastic year of KARDS, but anyone that keeps their eyes out for the top of the ladder will be well familiar with the fact that he has won all but one season this year as well as multiple tournament titles across both Officer Club Championships and KARDS Open tournaments.

The 2021 KARDS World Championship runner-up is Darkness, who narrowly lost out in a five-game nailbiter of a series in the finals against his teammate and friend Jking7. He is followed by Viebator in third place after his amazing run in the world championship came to a halt against Jking7 when he was unable to pull off his game-ending combo before succumbing to the relentless pressure of Jking7’s British Air deck. In fourth place, we have Bison, the dark horse of the competition, putting up an impressive showing against both Viebator and Jking7 in the lower bracket before becoming the first player to exit the Grand Finals in Iceland.

This means the final bracket stands like this.



We are extremely grateful to the players for undertaking the journey of traveling during a pandemic to create a truly unforgettable KARDS World Championship filled with amazing matches, excitement and great plays!

Relive the action!

The Broadcast Team



As always we have an ace team of commentators and analysts to bring you all the insights, knowledge and hype needed for a great time!

This time around, for the first time in the history of KARDS, the entire broadcast team will be physically present in the World Championship studio in Reykjavík Iceland!

The finalists

For the Grand Finals we have four veterans of the game facing off for the ultimate title in KARDS, the title of World Champion!

Viabator

Viabator is a veteran of the game, having placed 2nd in the first two seasons of KARDS ever held. Viabator stormed his way to a decisive season win during the third season of KARDS in June 2019. Having reached the pinnacle of the game at the time, Viabator took an extended break only returning recently, “just in time to win worlds”, as he says in his own words.

Jking7

Jking7 is a familiar name for anyone that has followed KARDS for the past couple of years. Having won 15 seasons of KARDS or around 48% of all KARDS seasons that have been played, no player wants to stare across the battlefield and see Jking7 as his opponent. He has also proven himself in a tournament setting and is currently tied for the most Officer Club Championship wins in KARDS history, having secured the title four times.

Darkness

Darkness is another long standing veteran of the KARDS scene, having placed near the top of the ladder more often than not and has secured himself three season wins. Darkness is a decorated tournament player as well, having won back to back KARDS Opens when they first began and secured himself in the top 8 of the Officers Club Championship on multiple occasions. Darkness is a prolific streamer (https://www.twitch.tv/darkness4gaming) and one of the more popular content creators in KARDS, allowing those interested to peek inside the brain of a top KARDS player.

Bison

Bison is the “youngest” player of the four in terms of time spent in KARDS, having played since February 2020 but he has been a regular near the top of the ladder in recent months. Bison might not have a season or tournament win under his belt, but this fired up Frenchman is coming for the win in the World Championship Grand finals.

Special Offers

Hello all!

It is time for an update on our World Championship Grand Finals!

On October 31st we qualified four players for the Grand Finals, and the following day started working to bring them over to Iceland for the final showdown.

Unfortunately, due to the state of covid in the world, our Chinese competitors were unable to travel to Iceland for the period of the Grand Finals, a prerequisite for competing for the world championship. As such, we have had to replace three competitors from the top 4. For more information on how we are rewarding these players, please see the end of the article.

Instead the runners up in the elimination bracket will take their place. This means our top four players traveling to Iceland, competing for the title of World Champion and their share of the $10.000 prize pool are….. Drumroll please!

The Champions of the 2021 KARDS World Championship

Viebator

Viebator is a veteran of the game, having placed 2nd in the first two seasons of KARDS ever held. Viebator stormed his way to a decisive season win during the third season of KARDS in June 2019.

Bison might not have a season or tournament win under his belt, but this fired up Frenchman is coming for the win in the World Championship Grand finals.

Date and Time

The Grand Finals for the KARDS 2021 World Championship will be played live from Iceland on the 4th and 5th of December. The action will commence at 13:00 each day with every second of it broadcast live on our Twitch channel www.twitch.tv/kardsccg

Make sure you tune in and catch the epic finale of the 2021 KARDS World Championship.

Chinese invitational

With Covid-19 ramping up again and increased restrictions starting to take effect, our fantastic finalists from China were unable to make the trek to Iceland and participate in the Grand Finals. We are, however, extremely impressed by their achievements and don’t want them to go unrecognized!

This is why we will be hosting a special edition invitational tournament on January 26th for the top World Championship candidates from the Chinese community with a prize pool of $5000!

The invitational will feature the three players unable to make it to Iceland for the WC Grand Finals, as well as, a legend of the game from the Chinese community in Fenrir, a back to back World Championship quarter finalist! With this, the field is set for the ultimate showdown within the Chinese community.

Invitational Participants

CCMS-031

CCMS-031 is our reigning World Champion haven risen from relative obscurity during the last World Championship in 2020, CCMS proved himself as one of the top minds in KARDS through his dominant performance in the 2020 Grand Finals, securing him the coveted title of World Champion. He’ll be looking to extend his winning streak by taking home first place in the invitational.

cu元素收集大师

cu元素收集大师 has become a staple of the KARDS competitive scene, securing multiple appearances in tournament playoffs and securing a back to back spot in the semi-finals of the KARDS World Championship. Cu元素收集大师 is ready to secure his name in the history books for KARDS with a win during the invitational.

孙笑川258

孙笑川258 is a veteran of the draft queue, having conquered most challenges in the draft queue 孙笑川258 has relatively recently started making a splash within the competitive scene but from his appearances it is clear this is a talented player. He is now on the quest of building his legacy within the KARDS community and a win during the invitational would be the perfect start.

Fenrir

Fenrir is a longstanding KARDS player having started playing well before the game released. He appeared in the Grand Finals top 4 in Iceland for the 2019 KARDS World Championship and qualified for the Grand Finals again in 2020. Fenrir primarily plays draft, but when he makes the venture over to constructed people are bound to be shaking in their boots. Having been fairly inactive over the recent months, it will be interesting to see how the Chinese veteran, Fenrir, fares against the young and hungry competitors waiting for him in the invitational.

Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for further updates on the 2021 KARDS World Championship Grand Finals as well as the Chinese Invitational!

Thrilling news from KARDS: New cards, improvements, card balance changes, and alternate art have arrived on the battlefield in KARDS with the latest World at War - Battle of Britain update on November 18th!

World at War: Battle of Britain

Our first World at War update is themed around the famous Battle of Britain and focuses on air operations - just like its historical counterpart.

Explore new options and strategies with our new Battle of Britain cards such as the iconic Eagle Day and honor the war efforts of the Observer Corps by giving them a new home in your decks.

This first World at War update comes with 7 unique new cards (35 in total). Included in the premium version is also the first alternate art in KARDS!

Get your new Battle of Britain cards



KARDS is entirely free to play and stays like this. You can obtain the new Battle of Britain cards in many ways:

  1. Create the new Battle of Britain cards with wildcards (nation-specific or all-purpose type)
  2. Get the standard Battle of Britain bundle for in-game gold
  3. Get the standard Battle of Britain bundle for real currency
  4. Upgrade your existing standard Battle of Britain bundle to the premium version with real currency
  5. Get the premium Battle of Britain version for real currency

The premium version of the Battle of Britain also contains our first alternate art for some of our most iconic cards, such as Carpet Bombing.

Card balance included

We also include a nifty card balance revamp that incorporates your good community feedback.

Some notoriously underused cards, especially of elite rarity (e.g., C47 Skytrain), got an overhaul and subsequently a considerable boost.

Other cards that have been more on the naughty side have been closely examined and then received modifications (e.g., 2nd California or Obice da 75/13).

Check out our detailed blog about these balance changes.

Next World at War update on the horizon

This World at War - Battle of Britain update was the first in a series of updates stretching over the next half year. We bring regular updates now: A new update will arrive almost every month now!

With the World at War updates, we want to satisfy several demands:

  • Release new cards more often
  • Provide strong, coherently themed, and history-aligned bundles to ease access to KARDS
  • Deliver regular exciting content for new and veteran players alike
  • Trying out new methods to deliver precisely defined content (additional to the current card draws from packs)

Each of the World at War updates focuses on a specific historical theme and comes with a bundle of new and existing cards to support each theme.

The Battle of Britain was our first World at War update; the next one will follow in January.

Let us know what you think of our new World at War - Battle of Britain and use the comments below or chat with the developers on our KARDS Discord!
KARDS - The WW2 Card Game - Thomas


Hello friends!

Battle of Britain is about to begin and we want to launch it with some extra fireworks. A balance patch fits the bill, alongside Battle of Britain giving a good mix of new and old to shake things up.

Overall, the meta has been fairly stable over the last month or two. Brit Air and Alpine remain top dogs and a new hound, Katy OTK, is causing some chewing damage. As a response, control decks, especially German and British based, have been on the rise. On the side we have several more decks putting up good numbers, such as US aggro, Commandos and Jap Resistance. All these decks, and more, are performing well, but none to the point of breaking the format. Still, shaking the antfarm a bit is always good to encourage players to experiment some more.

We have also collaborated with the community to get suggestions on a few elites that see little or no play to receive some facelift. There is one elite buff for each main nation, all based on suggestions from the community. Thank you for your feedback!

With all this in mind, let’s take a look at the changes coming your way next Thursday, November 18th. As usual, we will start going through the cards we are nerfing, then a couple of sections of card buffs, first for cards that see little play and then cards we want to change for strategic reasons.

Cards We Are Nerfing



Being able to infuriate anyone will inevitably cause issues at some point, my mom used to tell me. Well, for 5. Panzergrenadier, that point has arrived. Instead of limiting the Fury giving capabilities of the unit, we instead opted to make it into something that encouraged people to play as many Pincer units as possible. Who knows? Maybe down the road more goodies will arrive to make this deck a real contender.



The Alpine deck has truly reached the summit of the meta in recent weeks and when it curves out it can be a steep hill to climb back into the game for the opponent. While we like the new ability of the Obice, we do acknowledge that dealing with a huge artillery unit to boot is a bit too much to ask for many decks. So we are keeping the ability the same, but the Obice no longer has the Alpine keyword.



The US aggro/midrange deck centered around cards, such as 32nd Infantry Regiment, M4 Sherman and 507th PIR, has been gaining momentum lately and they all use the super effective Catalina as backup. The bomber does a little too much for its stats, so we are scaling the defense back a bit to make it easier to deal with.



The love/hate relationship people have with this unit proves that all’s fair in love and war, but the Flower Power of the 2nd California is turning the dream of playing Kards into a nightmare for many. As a company, we of course want people to make war rather than love, or we would be out of business, so the flower boy is being pruned a bit. While it still packs a punch, it now has a harder time dominating the battlefield than before.



Scorched Earth staked its claim as the poster child of non-interactive decks a long time ago. These decks have tended to fly under the radar a bit, but their recent resurgence have cast the spotlight on Scorched Earth at last. The main issue with the old version was when a unit was hit multiple times by one, effectively taking it out of the battle. So we are changing the card so that stacking no longer is an issue. This new version may also lead to Scorched Earth seeing its number bolstered in other archetypes.

Cards That Nobody Loves



One drops are always tricky to balance, they tend to be either really good or horribly bad. The 28th is still hunting for a home and we are providing it with some solid ammunition in its quest.



The Skytrain saw few takers when it flew around distributing candy and kredits. Now that it is distributing small Americans hungry for a fight, things may change. Some of them may even be carrying candy to boot.



The fabled Foreign Legion has turned out to be foreigners to most decks, which is a shame for such an iconic unit. They have agreed to go on a diet to be cheaper to maintain, so you can now operate them more easily. Is this a lean, mean fighting machine in the making? Or are they resistant to change?



Here is another iconic unit that rarely sees play except when rolling out of some factories in the Urals. This change should strike fear into anyone facing them on the battlefield, as history dictates it should. And with their fancy new cost they still have a healthy relationship with their Ural overlords.



Wellington? More like Not-Well-ington, right? Ok, ok. The old Wellington suffered from too narrow of a scope of a single turn, the new one has broadened its horizon to the whole battle. And it has Blitz. Beware of Blitz.



The new Panzerzug is now finally ready to deliver real pain to where it belongs - your face! While this may not be everyone’s cup of tea and not find a home in every deck, do not be surprised to see it disrupt some tea parties down the road every now and then.



It is likely that the illusionary Japan air deck needs more pieces than just a Rule the Skies overhaul to become reality, but this is a good step in the right direction and certainly makes this card more of a contender.

Cards Receiving Some Love



Straight up traditional tokens have been taking the backseat for awhile now and we want to give them a bit of a handout and see if they can be revived.



This change is not going to shake up the top tier meta much, but at lower levels and in draft, a 2/7 Churchill is a tough beast to fight through, especially when paired with something like Naval Support.



The Coastal Gun is right on the fringe of being a decent finisher in lower-tier British mid-range/control decks (and even some higher-tier deck lists). The newer version deals slightly less damage, but it is both more resilient and works better with any kinds of buffs, like the aforementioned Naval Support.



The ATS can provide constant card advantage for very specific decks, like burn or bomber/artillery based decks. While these decks are not very viable at the moment, a cheaper ATS can help enable them.



Root Out The Enemy sees a decent amount of play, but its current iteration suffers from being a bit too situational. The new version is on the whole a lot stronger, so expect to see even more of it in the future. Note that one change we are making alongside this is to allow units with 0-attack to attack.



Target Acquired can be a solid option in certain decks, that either can attack easily (bomber/artillery decks or small unit decks) or have a problem dealing with large units. It will not fit into every deck, but can be a good choice in some.

Zero-attack units
Please note that, as mentioned above, we also allow units with 0-attack to attack now.


That is all, these changes will hit the live server alongside the Battle of Britain cards on November 18th. Keep your eye out for the full patch notes at that time. Please continue giving us your feedback, it is very valuable to us. Thanks and see you on the battlefield, commander!
