Hello, everyone! I hope everything is going well. Potyguara here again from mappe, and today I’m talking about Dungeon Cards in CrafTAE 🃏. There are currently 9 dungeon cards ⚔️ in the game and they are filled with creatures from the CrafTAE universe, Terra Ænsãhna. Join our Discord if you want to learn more and follow the game’s development progress!
