## Frequently asked questions

### How does the finger picker work?

It works like a Chwazi online: instead of rolling dice, flipping a coin, or arguing over who goes first, everyone places a finger on the screen. After a 2.5-second countdown, the selector picks who starts the match with fair randomness and exciting visuals. Chwazi is a third-party app; this is an independent BoardGamesBot tool that runs in your browser and follows the same idea.

### Do I need to download or install an app?

No! The BoardGamesBot first player selector works 100% directly inside your web browser. You don't have to install heavy apps from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store or create an account to use the First Player mode.

### Does it work on iPhone, iPad, and Android?

Yes! It is fully responsive and optimized for mobile Safari on iOS, Chrome on Android, tablets, and touchscreen monitors.

### How many fingers can be on screen simultaneously?

Most modern smartphones and tablets support between 5 and 10 simultaneous touch points at the same time.

### Can it split players into teams or set turn order?

Yes! With our Teams mode, the app evenly groups all fingers into 2, 3, or 4 color-coded teams. With Turn Order mode, each finger is assigned a number (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.) so you know the exact seating and playing order.
