A husband-and-wife team making fun stuff to play on your phone, tablet, and elsewhere. Our latest: Carte Blanche (https://www.carteblanche.cards) Website: https://www.howseven.com Merch: https://shop.howseven.com
The Mini CD version of the soundtrack we released a few weeks ago was made completely in-house. Literally. Assembled on our dining room table, in fact. 😄 Learn more at www.youtube.com/watch?v=rafs1... or get your copy today at www.carteblanche.cards/
Blanche has been whistling the tunes that play in her parlor the past few days and thought perhaps others would like to listen too. From @play.date to your stereo, the Carte Blanche Original Soundtrack is now available on 7" vinyl and 3" Mini CD (and downloadables). www.youtube.com/watch?v=rafs...

Last day to celebrate ravens! …oh. Blanche has informed me you can celebrate ravens at any time. But it is the last day of the sale that is taking place in celebration of ravens. Get yourself some cards or a shirt, or if you have a Playdate, pick up the game at the best price yet!

Blanche enjoys a good game of cribbage, because it combines the strategy of choosing your discards with the tactical play of the count. But sometimes she gets a little indecisive about what to discard. Which cards would you discard here?
Sunday afternoons are great for card games. So… Blanche has requested that we give away some cards! We've got five decks of Carte Blanche cards to give away (US only). I'll post the links in a reply below. Each link can only be used once. (And once they're all used, I'll remove the message.)
It's almost time! Come join the fun as we celebrate another fantastic year of Playdate! 🎉
Daniel W. Simon@danielwsimon.com · 5mo agoThe 2025 Playdate Community Awards start in one hour! Be there! Youtube: youtube.com/live/hTuOXD-... Download the free Clap-along app to show support: grackalope-games.itch.io/clap-along
Grab your copy of the wonderful clap-along today, and get ready to cheer alongside some great Playdate games and apps in tomorrow's live event! Blanche is particularly appreciative of this option, because she says clapping with feathers doesn't seem to properly convey her level of excitement.
Bechamel@bechamel-test.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe @play.date Community Awards are tomorrow and the best way to prepare is by sideloading clap-along! Now using the Playdate's own networking capabilities, you can send live reactions during the award show stream. Download here: grackalope-games.itch.io/clap-along and clap those lil hands, y'all
Many thanks to @cheymac.bsky.social for including Carte Blanche in her recommendations for the Catalog Anniversary Sale! So many great games to play, and Blanche is grateful to be included. Stop by for a round or two. What would you like to play? Cribbage? Gin Rummy? Cassino?

Blanche and Christopher are practicing for tonight’s tournament. It’s a lot more work to keep the game on the table in sync with their actual game, but Blanche says it’s worth it because it’s fun. We agree. 8pm ET — carteblanche.cards/live #cribbage #playdate #indieDev
February 10 is Cribbage Day! Do you have any cribbage-y festivities planned? Playing on your @play.date, maybe? Or perhaps stop by our Cribbage Day 2026 Tournament? It's Blanche vs Christopher in a race around the ol' board. Feb 10 at 8pm ET. Visit carteblanche.cards/live for more information.
Is it snowing where you are? It's a few decks high so far here. Blanche would completely disappear! Perfect day for staying inside and playing card games. ❄️ www.carteblanche.cards/

I genuinely—without trying to make a joke or reference—said out loud earlier today: "There are seven cans in there? How seven‽" …while also wearing this shirt.
Happy Halloween! 🎃 Ravens are scary, right? What about kind, gentle white-feathered ones? …who like card games? She gives out trinkets! (And pennies, but you'll like them more than when that old lady down the street handed them out.) Carte Blanche is 20% off on Catalog: play.date/games/carte-...
