Let Clovers shuffle them randomly, or pick your favorite by tapping the # badge next to the New Game button. Hints get an upgrade! Now you can access hints from every non-Ranked game mode, including Wild Growth, Bramble, Scatter, and Hedgerow. Look for the light bulb button next to Undo. The theme picker screen has an improved layout to make it easier and faster to find your favorite theme. You can now also toggle between the light and dark version of each theme directly from the game screen, the Settings screen, or the theme picker screen. And a few more unwanted bugs were removed from the meadow. Enjoy! ### 2.2.1 — 2026-08-30 - Improvements graphics for pieces - Minor bug fixes and enhancements Recently added: - Scatter, a new game mode that puts the pieces in a random starting position. Enjoy! ### 2.2 — 2026-08-28 NEW GAME MODE — SCATTER Scatter joins Wild Growth and Bramble as the third premium variant that keeps gameplay fresh! The wind has scattered seeds all over the meadow, with each player's pieces popping up all over the map. With thousands of possibilities, no two games start the same. Also in this version: - Updated designs for the New Game and Progress menus fit more on smaller screens without scrolling. - Bug fix: Game Center achievement sync is more reliable. - When you exit recap mode back to a Ranked game, the streak badge displays correctly. ### 2.1 — 2026-08-15 The default Clovers icon now has proper dark and tinted modes, and many of the alternate theme icons were updated for clear and tinted modes. Plus more improvements to look and feel, including some major accessibility enhancements: DYNAMIC TYPE Text throughout the game now scales better with your preferred text size. If the opponent's dialog doesn't quite fit for very large text sizes, just tap the box to read all of it! VOICEOVER Moves, captures and results are now announced as they happen, and squares are named with each theme's own team name instead of "Player 1" and "Player 2". REDUCE MOTION Clovers already had a setting to reduce motion in the app, but it now adapts to your systemwide setting. INCREASE CONTRAST & REDUCE TRANSPARENCY Increase Contrast simplifies the artwork without changing any theme's colors. Reduce Transparency makes everything look more solid. DIFFERENTIATE WITHOUT COLOR & GRAYSCALE Gives your opponent's pieces a striped pattern, so you can tell the sides apart without relying on color. It also turns itself on if you enable the grayscale color filter. ### 2.0 — 2026-08-09 Clovers 2.0 is the biggest update since the game launched! THREE NEW THEMES TODAY, AND MORE COMING THIS YEAR
 Clockwork, Marsh, and Luna are here today. Three more arrive later this year. And every theme looks and sounds better than ever, with improvements to colors, board materials, background designs, and ambient sounds. MORE INTERESTING OPPONENTS
 Your opponents’ dialogue has roughly tripled. Every theme now has its own unique dialogue for each opponent, so the Outleaves of the Wild West, the Mainsprings of Clockwork, and the Duckweeds of the Marsh each talk like where they live and repeat themselves far less. Seedling’s wide-eyed enthusiasm is more endearing, Sapling’s sardonic quips are moodier, Thornwall has a slew of new botanical trivia to help teach tactics, and Old Growth is even older and wiser. HINTS AND RECAP ANALYSIS
 Stuck? The new Hint button suggests your best move in Casual Standard games. And Recap now shows the turning points of a finished game and what your opponent would have played instead. MORE BRAMBLE
 The bramble board collection has grown from 12 to 28, with a new picker for choosing your favorites—simply tap the # button after starting a new Bramble game. Bramble mode now shuffles through the whole set before repeating a board. FIND YOUR THEME FASTER 
Looking for your favorite theme? Tap the star to add it to a new Favorites group, or just search for it. Prefer more variety? Tap shuffle and be surprised each new game. MORE ROOM TO PLAY
 One adaptive layout now runs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, giving the board more space in most configurations. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE
 - Reminders: an optional nudge when a seasonal achievement you haven't earned becomes available. Toggle it in Settings.
 - Now one alternate app icon per theme follows your system's light, dark, and tinted icon customizations, replacing the separate day and night pairs. - More consistent color across every theme, and clearer highlights for reachable squares and your opponent's last move.
