Support Duels.ink on Ko-fi

We've launched a Ko-fi page for those who want to support the project. Funds go toward server costs, development tools (Claude Code), development time, and some booster boxes.

Two tiers are available:

• Supporter (5 EUR/month) — Name color and glow cosmetics
• Patron (15 EUR/month) — Everything above, plus early access to new features

New Feature: Game Replay (Patron Early Access)

You can now rewatch your completed games from your perspective. Replay includes full action reconstruction with playback controls — speed adjustment, turn-by-turn navigation, and pause/play.

Replays can be downloaded from your account page and replayed from the Replay Viewer. Replay links are public — share them with anyone, no login required.

Replays are currently retained for 3 days (this will be increased later). This feature is Patron-exclusive for now and will be available to everyone in a future update.

New Feature: LLM Bot (Patron-Exclusive)

Play against a bot powered by Xiaomi MiMo v2 Flash (via OpenRouter). It plays at medium difficulty — planning full turns with strategic reasoning.

This is still experimental and will be improved over time. There is a monthly cost limit on LLM usage; when the budget runs out, the bot falls back to the easy bot (ISMCTS) for the rest of the month.

The LLM bot is Patron-exclusive and won't be made available to everyone unless it becomes cheap enough to run.

New Ranking System

We've completely overhauled the rating system. Elo has been replaced with Glicko-2, a more modern and accurate rating algorithm used by many competitive games and platforms.

What changes for you

• 10-Game Placement — Your first 10 ranked games now serve as placement matches. You'll see your progress tracked game by game until you earn your official rank.
• Rating Confidence — The system now tracks how confident it is in your rating. If you haven't played in a while, your next games will have a bigger impact, letting you climb (or fall) faster until your rating stabilizes.
• Fairer Matchmaking — Players in placement are matched together when possible, and the matchmaking range has been adjusted for tighter, more competitive games.
• All matches re-computed — Every previous match has been re-processed through the new rating engine. Your rank already reflects your full history — check your profile, you might have a new rank waiting for you.

Improved Shuffle Algorithm

The shuffle algorithm has been upgraded and is now more secure and truly unpredictable. Every deck shuffle is as fair as it gets.

Victory Screen Rework

The end-of-game screen is now a modal overlay on top of the game board instead of replacing it entirely. You can dismiss it and review the final board state — check cards in play, discard piles, and more.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed card hover flickering and instability when moving the cursor between cards in the hand on desktop

We resolved 53 tickets across 3 days — average resolution time: 1d 7h (2/22), 19h (2/21), 6h (2/15).

New Feature: Undo

You can now request to undo your last action during your turn. Your opponent will see the request and can choose to accept or deny it. If hidden information was revealed (e.g. cards drawn or milled), this will be shown to your opponent so they can make an informed decision. A small time bonus is granted when an undo is accepted to compensate for the negotiation delay.

In matchmaking, undo requests are limited to 1 per turn. In bot games, undos are automatically accepted.

Thanks to everyone who requested this feature: @Churr0x, @Ritooon, @Negan, @ppdro09, @mikikaoru, @Nels, @aitigbl

What happened

Earlier today, the server experienced a crash that forced us to perform emergency maintenance. During recovery, we discovered that some game data had become corrupted and could not be restored.

What was affected

Game history was reset — all past game snapshots and replay data were lost. This means:

• Any games that were in progress at the time of the crash are gone
• Historical game records (who played what, turn-by-turn data) are no longer available

What was NOT affected

The good news is that everything that matters to your account is perfectly intact:

• Your account — safe and sound
• Your decks — all 868 decks across all players, untouched
• Your rank & MMR — fully preserved
• Your match history — win/loss records are still there (just without the detailed game snapshots)
• Your stats, coins, settings, and groups — all fine

In short: you won't notice any difference when you log in. Your profile, your collection, your rank — it's all exactly as you left it.

What we did

We brought the database back online, rebuilt the affected tables, and added safeguards to prevent this kind of issue going forward — including better indexing and an automated cleanup system for old game data.

Going forward

We take data integrity seriously and we're sorry this happened. The silver lining is that the actual impact on players is minimal — no accounts, decks, or progress were lost. Thank you for your patience and for being part of Duels.ink.
