Frequently asked questions

What are the three modes?

In classic mode the pairs come one by one and everyone picks. In majority mode the table's majority wins each round. In tournament mode the options are drawn against each other until one champion is left.

Can you play it alone?

Yes. On a single device the pairs come one at a time, your pick moves straight to the next one, and a result screen follows at the end. In an online room everyone picks from their own phone against a countdown.

How many players?

From one to twenty. Tournament mode is the one that gets better the more people are at the table.
