Books normally holding 3 cards will contain 4, and books containing 6 cards (Mythic, Heroic and Classic) will yield 7! Moreover, every Coin and Ruby bundle will yield up to 30% more resources. [h3]CHRISTMAS BRAWL[/h3] As part of our joyous Christmas Event, we're bringing back the Snowball Battle Brawl. At the beginning of the battle, a Snowman is randomly spawned on the second row for each player. Friendly and enemy Snowmen are placed in the same tile from the player’s perspective (so they’re never face to face). For instance, on the 3rd tile from the left for each player. The structure has 10/15/20 strength depending on the Brawl difficulty, does not come back once destroyed and does not impact the frontline.
