Watch our "Getting Started" video.
If you would like to play on your own, with 3 bots, please follow the instructions below:
- Open the "Game Launchpad" under the Play menu
- Choose the "Play with Bots" option
- Next, choose the type of game you'd like to play:
- "Just For Fun". The results of these games will not be recorded and will not affect your rating. You will be able to leave a game before the end without receiving a penalty. A great option for practicing or if you're new to the platform. You can also choose to enable the practice mode when playing Just for Fun games, and this will offer hand suggestions, etc.
- "Official Game". Game results will be recorded on your Game Stats page and will affect your rating. Abandoning a game before the end will result in a penalty.
- Select the level of bots you wish to play against
- Level 1: Our simplest bots! They know the rules and play accordingly, but - just like human beginners - they don’t always make the best decisions. Ideal for beginners and beginner-intermediate players looking to practice and learn.
- Level 2: These bots are more strategic. They’re better at selecting hands and play with a focus on defense. A great match for intermediate and intermediate-advanced players who want to hone their skills.
- Level 3: Our most advanced bots! These players use a variety of strategies straight from the pages of our strategy guide. Perfect for advanced players seeking a serious challenge.
- Next, click the "Launch Game" button.
- The game will launch in a new tab.
- At this point, you will be asked whether you're open to receiving invitations to Live games (if you'd like to receive invitations to play with other members on the platform during your playing session, click "Yes", otherwise click "No").
- When you're ready to start playing, click "Start Game"
