SPECTATOR MODE Tap SPECTATE on the main menu to see every match currently in progress and jump into any of them. The board updates move by move, and both players' hidden roles stay secret - so you can watch a friend play without giving anything away. TWO OPTIONAL RULES Tap FEATURES before creating a room to switch either one on. Whoever hosts sets the rules for both players. SNIPER TRANSPORT - Sacrifice one of your own Soldiers to teleport a Sniper onto its square, along any clear straight or diagonal line. LAST STAND - Reaching the enemy End Zone no longer wins on the spot. The defender gets one turn to answer. Bring your real General and you win; send a decoy and the bluff is spent. PEEK Hold the PEEK button at any time to check which of your own pieces are the General and Snipers. Nothing is shown to your opponent. The rules screen now scrolls, so the full rulebook is readable on every device.
