### 2.1 — 2026-11-09

Weekly goals
- Three new goals every week, worth 500 XP each, plus a 1,500 XP bonus for finishing all three. Track them from New game and celebrate each one after the game.

Smoother, livelier cards
- Cards now puff up and stretch as you drag them, glide onto their spot, and land with a ripple of their own color, whether you play them to a swatch, bank them or drop an action on the pile. Steal Color, Forced Swap and Steal Swatch send the cards flying from one table to the other, so you can see exactly what changed hands.

Table cards: Simple or Full
- Choose how cards look on the table: Simple (the familiar style) or Full, which shows each card’s complete face. Find it under Table, before or during a game, with a “?” to compare the two.

Online Heists
- When a Heist happens online, the thief and the player who lost the card both see which card was taken.

Smarter AI
- Expert opponents now squeeze more out of every Cost card and judge a charge by what each rival can actually pay.

Also in this update
- See-through results screen over the table
- Not So Fast and Pay stay on screen while you pick what to pay with
- Notes at the top of the screen no longer pile up when you tap repeatedly
- The Vibration switch is now called Haptics
- New painters start with one of the twelve artist faces
- Better fit on iPad in portrait
- Smoother title screen
- Fixes for table animations pausing at the start of a new game, Steal Swatch checkmarks appearing early, a stutter when placing or banking a Studio or Gallery, the View deck text, and the card back odds shown after a level-up

Watch for the countdown on the title screen. For seven days, every game pays more.

New tables and card backs
Supporters get the Factory, a night-time foundry under humming lamps, and the Studio, a candlelit Paris attic with the Eiffel Tower glowing and stars turning slowly past the window. Nine new fabric card backs join the Supporter’s Palette: Burgundy, Sapphire, Emerald, Amethyst, Coral, Satin, Tweed, Herringbone and Brocade. Rose and Umber join the free pool, Indigo has new artwork, and card backs now keep dropping well past level 50.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-28

What’s New in 1.2

New painted tables for Palette supporters:
Ocean: gulls, a passing ship, and a sun that sets over the water as the game goes on, then a sky full of stars.
Jungle: ruins above a waterfall, with mist rising off the pool.
Den: a fireside room with a lamp, a window of stars and a record turning on the player.
Winter: a lakeside lodge where the sun sets behind the mountains in five minutes, the cabin windows and lanterns come on at dusk, and shooting stars cross the night sky.
Each table has its own song.

Replays: your last ten games are saved, and any of them can be replayed on the real table, action by action, with every board and your hand as they were. Under My Painter.

Card backs: ten new free backs to unlock as you level up, in solid colors. Two holiday backs for supporters, Harvest and Yuletide, are first in line on any level-up from November through December.

Seasonal Avatar Pack 2 for supporters: 83 Halloween and Christmas faces.

Deck viewer: a View deck button on the New game page shows every card in the deck with your chosen options, and how many of each.

Title screen: the painted tables rotate behind the menu, and the logo letters drop in and ride a wave.

Smarter opponents:

Hold their last Not So Fast for a winning steal rather than spending it on a cost they can easily pay.
Never discard a Prism Wild, a Not So Fast or a Steal Swatch at the hand limit, and discards now show in the log.
Flip a dual shade to its pricier face before charging cost on it.
Find winning flips they used to miss, and keep finished swatches intact when covering a charge.

Online games use the host’s table and card back.

Plus many smaller fixes and polish.
