Playing a multiplayer game

When multiple people are playing the same game, different colored borders will appear around card stacks that the various players are using.

When the other player has a card selected, you are unable to interact with that card.

Certain operations will not affect any other player's game, such as zooming, panning, changing the "Draw to hand" mode, etc

Resyncing

If this happens, you will see a notification at the top of the screen, with an option to resync the game. You can also always do this at any point by selecting Multiplayer -> Request Resync from Remote Game

warning

If the resync is successful, you will replace your local game state with the state of the other player's game
