3. How to Join a Game
After logging in, you are in the Lobby. Here you may see some tables available for you to join. You can (1) join a public table, or (2) start your own game, or (3) join a friend's private table...

Each table visible in the Lobby is a Public table, where someone is hoping you will join them.
Each table is labeled with the Settings options it's set for. If you prefer an easy playing experience, choose a table using Friendly mode. The Hardcore experience is a little more work, with greater danger of making mistakes. If a table is using the 2022 card and you want to play using a later card, you shouldn't click that table. Just check the fine print on a table, and choose based on how you want to play.
1. To join a table, click it. A popup appears with a Join button. Click Confirm to play at that table.

2. To start your own new game instead, click New Game. See the Game Setup FAQ for what to do next.
3. To join a game your friend started, your friend should send you a Room Code by email, phone, or text. Enter the code in the Room Code box (bottom left), and click Join.
