Sharing your game

When a game finishes, the final scores come up on their own — and sitting at the top of them is a green Share your game button. It turns the result into a tidy block of text you can drop into any chat, so the people you played with can see how it went, and the people you wish you had played with can see what they missed. Here is what it does.

Where to find it

You do not have to go looking for it. The moment the last round is scored, the Game Scores & Settings panel opens by itself, with the winner at the top and Share your game just underneath.

If you closed it, or you are coming back to a game that finished days ago, it is still there. Open the game, click Menu at the bottom of the screen, and choose Game Scores and Settings. The button stays for as long as the game does, so there is no rush to share the moment it ends.

What gets shared

A short block of plain text — no picture, and nothing for anyone to install at the other end. It looks like this:

🚂 Mexican Train - Robust Squid

🏆 Corey (0)
🟨🟨 Derek (20)
🟧🟧🟧 Nathan (28)
🟥🟥🟥🟥 Steve (39)

That is the whole thing. It reads the same in Messages, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord or an email, and the link on the last line is how somebody who has never played finds their way here.

How to read it

🏆 marks the winner. They get no bar, because they have nothing to show.
The coloured blocks are where each player finished, not what they scored — second place gets two blocks, third gets three, and so on. Yellow is the runner-up, red is last, and orange is everyone in between.
Each player’s total is in brackets at the end of their line.

The blocks lead each line on purpose. Names are all different lengths, so putting the bars first is what keeps them lined up once the block lands in a chat window. See Winning and scoring for how those totals are worked out.

Sending it

What happens when you press the button depends on what you are playing on:

On a phone or tablet, your usual share sheet opens and you pick the app and the people exactly as you would when sharing a photo.
On a computer, the text is copied to your clipboard instead, and you will see Game results copied and ready for sharing. Paste it wherever you like.

Either way, nothing is posted anywhere on its own. You choose who sees it, and you can add to the text or trim it after you paste it.

What is not in it

Only the game’s name, the players and their totals. No email addresses, nobody’s tiles, and nothing about any other game you have played. People are listed by their account name rather than any nickname they used for that one game, so the block still makes sense to someone who was not there. Computer opponents keep the name they played under.

That is all there is to it. If a game came down to the last tile, share it — it is the quickest way to talk everyone into a rematch.
