A fresh new look: The exciting redesign of World of Card Games

I'm thrilled to announce the release of the new design for World of Card Games. I've been working feverishly for the last 6 months on the new design for the website, which should drastically improve the user experience for people, enable people to play the games on their iPhones and Androids, and generally make the playing experience more fun.

Below, you'll see a comparison of the old and new design when playing a game of Hearts:

All the elements and buttons are still there, though they might have been moved around a bit, so playing the games in the new design shouldn't pose too big a challenge.

The cards and avatars have been redesigned for a simpler and more cheerful look, and a few new avatars have even been added, which you can find under Settings, where you'll also be able to change the deck of cards you're playing with and pick your favorite wallpaper.

All of the games have gotten a facelift. Below, you'll see how Gin Rummy used to look and how it looks now:

The redesign has also greatly improved the mobile experience. World of Card Games wasn't working particularly well on mobile, but the new design has greatly improved on that:

I hope you like this new design, though I'm sure it'll take a bit of getting used to for some people. If you find a bug or have any feedback, please reach out to me at holger@worldofcardgames.com and let me know what's on your mind.

Happy gaming,
Holger
