[/list] [b]PRICE INCREASE[/b] We will be increasing the price of Card Craft with the next major update. This will likely happen sometime in March 2023. The price increase is due to the significant addition of content and features since we first released in Early Access. We will offer a discount before the price increase, giving our audience plenty of time to grab the game at a reduced cost.
