New card ST. THICK
As we enter Squirmuss Season, we're celebrating with a new card featuring ST. THICK!
Sure, he's as rude as a SantaCon Santa, but he packs a punch, and in December, he'll inspire your other cards to do even more damage during their attacks.
ST. THICK is our first card with a date-dependent ability, called SEASON'S BEATINGS. In December, his battle cry grants a +1 DAMAGE to your next attack, not just with ST. THICK, but with any of your cards in play! And you can use it repeatedly, once each turn. On actual Squirmuss Day, (traditionally celebrated on December 26th), the bonus is boosted to +2.
Even during months other than December, ST. THICK's special attack STINKY SOCK is a serious threat which can instantly Knock Out a card for your victory pile, even friendly cards. How fast can you say "Insta Win!"?
From mid-November to mid-January, ST. THICK may show up in Standard format games, as well as other formats that include random cards from your collection.
PIE TOSS damage calculation changed
The damage bonus calculation for SCHLOPPO's PIE TOSS ability has been restored to the way it's usually calculated in tabletop Squirmish.
Original intent was to calculate the damage by counting the cards between SCHLOPPO and the target along a shortest continuous path of cards between the two. In the videogame, we've been calculating the bonus by counting cards intersecting a straight-line path from SCHLOPPO to target.
With this change, the bonus damage calculation will usually award about one more point of damage than the previous method, but in certain card arrangements, it will get a lot more. (With Gillbert in play, a +9 bonus is theoretically possible.)
This bumps up SCHLOPPO's power rating a bit and should also lead to some big game moments.
