Cards & Tankards Patch Notes — May 17, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
ADDED
- Cat Ear Hat: Added a new Cat Ear Hat cosmetic.
- Point & Drag (VR): You can now point at a creature and hold the trigger to drag it around the table.
- Creature Activation (VR): You can now activate creatures by pointing at them and pressing the primary buttons (A/X).
UPDATED
- Starter Gems: New accounts no longer receive 250 starter gems automatically upon creation. Instead, players can now claim them using a new button located at the Town stage.
- AI Battles: Players can now play AI battles before unlocking all starter decks. Unlocking starter decks now progressively unlocks higher AI difficulties.
- 3D Buttons: Updated all 3D buttons to be more polished.
- Grabbing Improvements (VR): Improved grab detection when multiple objects are near your hand. Grabbed objects now retain their relative rotation to help prevent accidental flips (such as the hourglass), and creature bases are once again grabbable.
- Zone Detection (VR): Improved zone detection when moving, grabbing, pushing, or flinging creatures to make attacking and blocking more accurate and reduce misplays.
- Scrolling UI (VR): Thumbsticks can now be used to scroll through UI menus.
- Thumbstick Deadzones (VR): Added deadzone support for right thumbstick rotation.
- Card Components Blackboard: Improved the schoolhouse blackboard to properly display faction, attributes, and card pack icons.
- New Player Status: Players are no longer marked with the "New Player" tag after reaching account level 30.
- Players can no longer grab creatures when it is not their turn.
FIXED
- Creature activate abilities triggering if a player quickly released a card and accidentally bopped the creature.
- Players being able to bypass the 60-card deck limit.
