@play.date just to confirm, you guys know the registration server is down? New owners including people buying units at PAX can't use their playdates

Decks of black-and-white playing cards stacked on top of each other. The front says "Carte Blanche" and features a white-feathered raven with a playing card in her beak.

Sunday afternoons are great for card games. So… Blanche has requested that we give away some cards!

We've got five decks of Carte Blanche cards to give away (US only). I'll post the links in a reply below. Each link can only be used once. (And once they're all used, I'll remove the message.)

It's International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day!

Today, we celebrate our own friendly little raven, Blanche. She's always willing to make time for a game, teach you how to play, and share her treasures with you when you win.

Thanks for being awesome, Blanche.
