What's New in Scrappy

1.1

August 26, 2026

A kinder introduction, and tidier rules. Getting to know him is quicker now. He asks his few questions, tells you plainly what he made of them, and shows you what a rule is worth before you agree to anything. Rules are easier on the eye, too. Each one wears its own picture, so a glance is enough to tell them apart. The rest is quiet housekeeping. Thank you for having him.
