Characters

The versus computer mode just got a personality. Easy/Moderate/Hard have been retired in favour of three named characters, each with their own portrait, attitude, and trash talk.

  • Charlie - Friendly and lighthearted. Plays for fun, cheers his own pots, takes the loss with a grin. The gentle introduction to game.

  • Vera - Confident and sharp. Reads the table cleanly and will let you know about it. The thinking player's match.

  • Silas - Calculated and smug. Doesn't waste words, doesn't miss easy ones. Bring your best.

Characters also have custom text lines with personality inside the match.

News

  • AI gameplay has been improved, making computer opponents play more skillfully and naturally.
