Help

Once you finish a game, you can remove it by swiping your finger over it to the right and tapping "Delete". You can also hold down on the game to reveal the "Delete" button.


You can end a game early if it’s your turn. From the in-game Pause menu (top right), Tap "End Round Now" to end the current Round. Tap "Resign Game" to forfeit the entire Game.

 



If it's not your turn and your friend stops playing, the game will be resigned automatically after a reasonable amount of time.
