SkatGenius - The smartest way to play Skat.
Challenging others is fun! Enjoy this awesome Skat game with other players nearby:
Invite others nearby by touching their player's name.
At the bottom right corner of the gaming room, you will find other players that are currently active and close by. You can challenge others conveniently by touching their names.
This is illustrated in the picture above. John is invited by tapping his name.
By challenging others, you set the rules. It is up to the other player to accept these rules.
If you do not see the other players, please make sure that you have activated the multi-player game and you are in close range for wireless communication.
Give the other players time to respond.
John will be informed about your challenge (incl. rules). On your screen, an hourglass icon is displayed next to the player's name that you have challenged, as illustrated in the picture above.
He can accept your rules or decline it. Please give the player some time to think about your challenge.
The player takes a seat at your table.
John has accepted your challenge. He is seated at the left side of the table.

Touch the player's name to accept the challenge..
To accept a challenge you only need to touch the name of player who has challenged you. Then you take a seat at his table.

You can leave the table anytime. To do this, touch your profile picture or the word you next to your player's picture as illustrated in the picture above.
