My friends' games aren't showing up. Everyone has to be on
the exact same group code, and online. A phone that was offline catches up when
it reconnects.
A name looks duplicated. It's almost always a different
spelling or capitalisation — “Sam” and “sam” are two people.
It won't take my score. Scores are multiples of 50, and your
first score of a game has to reach 600 to get on the board. A turn of 0 is a bust.
I entered the wrong score. Tap the roll on the player's card
to change it — the totals and the standings update straight away.
The Apple TV app won't connect. Enter your group code, or
the game's stream code exactly as it's shown on the scoring phone, and make sure
a game is actually running.
Play started a new game instead of joining mine. Open Play
again a moment after the scorekeeper has opened the waiting room — it shows
every game open in your group. On New Game, a bar at the top also offers any
game that opens while you're setting up.
Phones won't find each other with no internet. Keep Wi-Fi
switched on (it doesn't need a network — airplane mode with Wi-Fi back on
works), stay in the same room, and allow Local Network access when iOS asks.
What does this card do? Tap Cards at the top of
any Chaos game for every card, or tap a card in a hand. Once somebody reaches
the target their score is locked — only Hostile Takeover can touch it.
Playing with friends
One person makes a group and gets a short code; everyone else joins
with that same code. From then on every game and stat syncs across all of your
phones. No account, no email, no password — just the code.
How scoring works
Pick how the score gets in when you start a game: roll real dice
and tap the turn's points into the numpad, roll six dice on screen, or pair GoDice
and let them read themselves. The app keeps each player's running total, marks
busts, and starts the final turn once someone reaches 10,000 (or 5,000 in a quick
game). Highest total when the final turn is done wins.
Your data
You can delete individual games in the app, and leaving a group removes that
group's data from your device. To have a group's cloud data erased entirely, email
me. What's stored and who can see it is in the
privacy policy.
