  Hi Senator!We're releasing a small update focused on one of the most common requests we've received since launch: a better tutorial.Learning how cards interact and understanding the flow of a match could be challenging for new players, so we've reworked the tutorial to make those first games much easier to follow. It now introduces the core mechanics more clearly and helps new players get into the action with greater confidence.This is a relatively small update, but it's only the beginning.We're already hard at work on Senatus' first major content update. Alongside new improvements, we're redesigning parts of the interface, refining gameplay mechanics, and introducing rank rewards to make progression feel more meaningful.We wanted to get this tutorial into your hands as soon as it was ready instead of making you wait for the larger update.Thank you for all the feedback you've shared so far. Every suggestion helps us improve the game, and we're excited to show you what's coming next.See you on the Curia!
