2. The Lobby, where you can start or join games
After logging in, you enter the Lobby. Here you may see some tables available for you to join.
A table is only visible if it's Public, and it is not yet launched by the player who created the table. When someone creates a Private table, that table is not shown on the Lobby.
Each table is labeled with the options it's set for. To join a table, click it. A popup appears with a Join button; click it to play at that table.
To join a Private game your friend started, your friend should send you a code by email, phone, or text. Enter the code in the Room Code box, and click Join.
To start your own new game, click New Game.
Take a look at the controls in the Lobby:
Top of Lobby screen: New Game, Chat
Bottom of Lobby screen: Room Code/Join, Tutorials, FAQs, Settings, Logout
