v1.15 - Lategame rebalance


I created new boards for the late-game fights to weaken stone-spamming strategies while improving freeze, burn, etc.

Mining Battles and 71-stone should also be more fun now, with an increased hand-size of 7.


Change List:

  • Maximum hand-size increased from 6 to 7.
  • You can right-click when using 3-stone to auto-discard your leftmost card.
  • 29-stone now has a broader effect: "stays in hand [when played]" --> "cannot be discarded". 
  • 29-stone is more likely to be used by tournament NPCs  (~10% --> ~20%).
  • 71- and 91-stone sprites swapped for consistency (green=immune).
  • Battle 71 / 79 / 83 / 89 decks and boards changed. (Bigger holes in the board to nerf stone-spam strategies.)
  • 89-master nerfed (170 --> 150 energy).
  • The 71-master no longer loves to play 98-stone for no reason.
  • Mining puzzles M2 and M3 nerfed. (5-stone --> 2-stone, 10-stone ---> 5-stone)
  • Pressing Esc in the main menu no longer quits the game in-browser.
  • Lab logs are less wordy.
  • Bug fixes and dialogue changes.

Planned changes for the near future:

  • 47-stone "Discard lowest card" --> "Discard highest card"
  • New designs for puzzle levels
  • Swap 47 (discard) and 61 (cover)

What 73-master? Is there some secret I was missing?

Oops, I meant 71!
