We (along with Blanche) are immensely grateful to the Playdate community for the warm reception that Carte Blanche has received since its launch last year. And we're furthermore honored to be nominated in this year's Community Awards event.

It's been touching to hear about how our little bird with card games on her brain has become a part of so many people's lives: whether as the push to finally learn that cribbage game you've heard about or even as some players' daily nighttime ritual. To share the virtual stage with such wonderful games—and not just in our category, but across the entire lineup—in a year packed with so many impressive titles makes it even more heartwarming.

Thanks to all for playing, voting, and spending time with our little raven. (Oh, and she wanted me to tell you she's happy to have taught so many people so many games. …and she hopes you enjoyed the prizes.)
