## Frequently asked questions

### How does the 2-Player Face-to-Face mode work?

In 2-player games, activate Face-to-Face mode. The opponent's card is rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to lay your phone or tablet flat in the center of the table between both players.

### Are scores saved if I accidentally reload or close the tab?

Yes! The match state is continuously saved in your browser's local storage (localStorage). If you refresh the page, all points, names, and counters remain exactly where you left them.

### Can I use this for MTG Commander with poison and commander damage?

Yes! The Commander preset includes dedicated 40-life pools, poison counters, and sub-counters to track lethal combat damage.

### How many players are supported?

The free tier supports up to 4 players simultaneously. Premium members can expand tables up to 12 players for large group games.

### Is the victory card social share image generator free?

Yes! Exporting match scoreboard images with rankings to share on WhatsApp, Instagram Stories, or Discord is 100% free for everyone.
