addedTWO! new actions: Random + Swap
addedIn rounds 1-4, players will use a brand new sabotage: Random! This sabotage allows a player to exchange a trinket on the board with a random trinket from the pool. We hope that players use this to both refresh their trinket options if their secret category isn't onscreen as well as to begin to make guesses on what categories their opponents may have on hand.
addedIn rounds 5-8, players will use another brand new sabotage: Swap! This sabotage allows a player to swap the position of two trinkets. Important note here: your sabotage will take place after the round ends but before your trinket gets added to your chest. "Rats! I wanted the green weapon but now I'm stuck with a blue gem! There go my points." - your opponents, probably.
changedDemo players will be familiar with our egg bomb that's here to stay. This feature allows you to destroy one trinket of choice. New to the full game: You will now have *two* egg bombs in one of our new set of rules we're debuting. We'll be dedicating an entire future blog post update on these new rules specifically but you can expect two different sets of rules to keep your opponents on their toes!
addedWhile choosing a bard crow versus a jester crow doesn't affect the points system, you can now expect the crows to be even squawkier than ever. We're debuting new lines of egg-celent trash talking to create an even more immersive gameplay experience.

Hear ye, hear ye!

Peasants, gentry, and royalty alike: We're so excited to shake up your 21st century friends and foes' gatherings with a sparring experience unlike anything you've seen before. After being awarded the Most Innovative award this past fall from judges at Akupara Games, Xsolla, NetEase, and more, we've been hard at work behind the scenes to bring you the indie title that's sure to make your next party a bit more jester-friendly. Scroll on to read more about what you can expect from our full game!

  1. TWO! new actions: Random + Swap

In rounds 1-4, players will use a brand new sabotage: Random! This sabotage allows a player to exchange a trinket on the board with a random trinket from the pool. We hope that players use this to both refresh their trinket options if their secret category isn't onscreen as well as to begin to make guesses on what categories their opponents may have on hand.

Demo players will be familiar with our egg bomb that's here to stay. This feature allows you to destroy one trinket of choice. New to the full game: You will now have *two* egg bombs in one of our new set of rules we're debuting. We'll be dedicating an entire future blog post update on these new rules specifically but you can expect two different sets of rules to keep your opponents on their toes!

  1. Private lobbies

Don't want strangers lurking in the castle corners plotting your demise? In our full game, you'll have the option to host a private lobby.

  1. Crows with even MORE personality

While choosing a bard crow versus a jester crow doesn't affect the points system, you can now expect the crows to be even squawkier than ever. We're debuting new lines of egg-celent trash talking to create an even more immersive gameplay experience.

  1. Refreshed UI + UX and tutorial

The castle's looking a lot shinier these days! Our UX team has been hard at work making the castle more intuitive. In addition, our updated tutorial features tips and tricks on how to more consistently get higher scores and get better at deducing your opponents' categories.

  1. More detailed scoreboard

Wanted to improve your gameplay but didn't know where exactly your strategy went wrong? We're debuting a more in-depth win/lose scoreboard that will help you level up and sabotage even better the next time the call of Trinkets! beckons you in.

--

Thank you so much for your continued interest in Trinkets! and your support this past week at Steam Next Fest! We were able to double our wishlists and wanted to thank you all for being a part of our growing crow-mmunity.

By order of our developer team, we've decreed that there shall be a future full game release date announcement and more exciting updates from us in 2025 and beyond!
