This is a pre-release internal note from the closed playtest, quoted as it was written for testers. It describes a build that no longer exists; treat it as history, not as a description of the current game.

Alright, happy Friday! We're working on save/load, cleaning up some screens so we can visually move the cards around easier, and some stuff on the settings screens but while that's getting done we're still exterminating bugs.
