    Online private rooms

    • Create a room and invite friends with a link or a 4-character code; join from the main menu with the code keypad.
    • Lobby with 6 seats: ready up, host picks room size (2–6), bot fill and bot difficulty.
    • Server-decided attack routing, shields, gang-up protection, knock-out credit, placements, sudden death and the clock.
    • A server bot takes over a dropped player at once; reconnect within 20 seconds to get your seat back.
    • Late joiners and knocked-out players spectate; tap a rival card to watch that board.
    • Reloading the page rejoins the room. Standings and rewards from the last round are shown in the lobby.

    • With 5–6 players, extra rivals piling onto one target cut their attacks further.
    • Sudden-death pulses grow over time. Match screen and menus adapted for every player count.
