We've just rolled out a new patch for Mystic Vale that fixes some issues reported by our community. If you notice any other issues with the game, feel free to let us know here on the Steam forums.
Fixed:
* Starting an online game would sometimes not show the expansions owned in the lobby. * Combinations of advancements on one card that should bring up the same dialog multiple times are now fixed in all cases.

Mystic Vale wins at the TIGA Awards!
We are incredibly proud and excited to have won the ‘Best Game by a Small Studio’ award for Mystic Vale at the TIGA Awards! Competing against some of the biggest studios in the British games industry, Mystic Vale managed to come ahead and secure an award for everyone here at Nomad Games.
Working alongside AEG to bring their award-winning tabletop game to life, we created a digital adaptation that captured the well-loved Mystic Vale gameplay perfectly for digital platforms. As a small studio based in the North West of England with just over 20 staff, we are incredibly proud to be recognised for all our hard work.
As always, we wouldn't have been able to win without all the help and support all of our testers, fans and players have given us over the last year!

Voting closes at Midnight on October 18th, but there is still time to vote! You can do so here on the TIGA website.
Druids Collection
Also, we've just added a new 'complete your collection' bundle to the Steam store for Mystic Vale, for anyone who bought any individual expansions for Mystic Vale and is looking to complete their collection at a discount.
