What do I need to play?
At least two players and a current browser with WebGL 2. You can share a computer or tablet, or join from several devices. Nothing is installed. You need the internet to load the game; an online room needs a connection throughout. A larger screen makes the world easier to read.
Do we each play on our own device?
Yes, or you can mix shared and personal devices. Two players take turns at a tablet while a third plays remotely. The host sends a code, a link or a QR; in the waiting room each device claims one seat or several. Each has its own camera. Multiplayer across devices costs €4 for the host and covers the whole table; guests buy nothing. When a shared device is passed on, the cards are covered.
Does everyone have to buy the add-ons?
No. The host alone gets the worlds and options for a game together. Guests join with no further purchase and with no account or e-mail.
What exactly is free?
A whole game for two players in the base world: a prepared opening, up to 30 rounds and an optional guide. No sign-up, no e-mail and no card. Other worlds and game options have the prices listed.
How does a game end?
In a duel the winner is whoever reaches 12 points on their own turn; with three or four players the target is 14. If nobody wins sooner, the final score after round 30 decides. In the version without a round limit you play to the points target.
Can we break off a game?
A local game saves itself as you go in this browser and you will find it under My games. To back it up or move it, use the export and import in the game settings. An online room is available for 24 hours from when it was made. Come back to it from the same device and browser; the code alone is not enough to take over a claimed seat. Clearing browser data or a private window can remove a saved game or your access to a room.
How does buying work?
You pick what you want and confirm the order in the checkout at the listed price: €8 for the whole bundle, €5 for Mars, €5 for Pandora, €4 for multiplayer across devices, or €1 for a single game option. The only discount is the complete bundle of all six options; partial choices add up at full price and anything already unlocked is deducted. You confirm the order with an e-mail: the confirmation arrives at that address with a link that unlocks the content. The purchase stays tied to that address, so you can restore it on any device — with no password and no sign-up. In an online room your guests use it too.
Can I buy points or better rolls?
No. The add-ons add worlds or settings for a game together. Points, resources and dice results are not for sale. Everyone at the table plays under the same conditions.
