Cards are better with a little talk — and now the talk happens right at the table.
Chat on the board. Table chat now shows up as bubbles and toasts on the game screen itself, so a good line lands while the trick is still fresh - no switching to a separate panel mid-hand.
Quick compose. A floating compose button sits on the game board just above your hand. Tap it, type, send, back to your cards. On phones the compose box opens full-width so you’re not thumb-wrestling a tiny field.
Reply properly. You can reply to a specific message, so “nice play” is clearly attached to the play that earned it. Spectators can follow along too - and when a seat opens, they get a cleaner picker for jumping in.
Fairness tune-up. Alongside the chat work, we shipped a batch of fixes you’ll feel more than see: matches now end correctly when kick points alone reach the winning score; quitting mid-match carries a forfeit penalty when it would rob a close game; bots now wait a beat before covering a disconnected seat, so a dropped connection doesn’t burn your cards; and abandoned tables reset themselves instead of sitting stale in the lobby.
Jump into a game and try the new chat - just remember, your opponents can talk too.
