What's New in Misunderstood Deities

1.0.2

June 11, 2026

Yagan is the 61st card. A Whadjuk Noongar Hero the colonial record called a criminal; his own people knew otherwise. He is the first ancestor card in the deck, the first Noongar tradition entry, and he is here because a reader asked for a misfit. His card ends where it should: with the people who still walk with him on country. The daily draw now looks at who you have not met yet and nudges you their way, until you have met everyone. The library and settings breathe a little easier: text scales with your device, the charity section is cleaner with a tappable receipts ledger, and there is a small note about why an ancestor card exists in a deity deck. Card art no longer gets clipped at the top. If a Deity is going to make their case, you should be able to see their face.
