Managing your games

Each card on your games list carries the buttons for that particular game, and they change depending on what the game needs. Here is every one of them — including the difference between ending a game, leaving it, and simply hiding it.

1. Each card carries the buttons for that game, and they change with its state.

2. A game waiting to start offers “Start game” to its host.

3. “Continue game” takes you back to the board.

4. The little arrow beside it offers a new game with the same people.

5. On the left: “End game” if you created it, “Leave game” if you did not.

6. “Hide this game” clears a card off your list without touching anybody else’s.

7. Hidden games live under “Hidden Games”, where you can unhide them again.

8. Nothing here deletes a game — hiding is your own private tidy-up.

What happens to old games

Nothing is ever deleted. Old games tidy themselves away instead:

  • After 30 days with no moves, a game moves to Hidden Games on its own, just as if you had hidden it. Click Unhide this game to bring it back, and it stays on your list.
  • After 60 days with no moves, it drops off both lists.

Anything new in a game counts as a move here: a tile played, someone joining, or an invitation sent. So a game you are still playing never ages off.
