Version History Three new games - Crazy Eights, Letter Siege and Color Fill - and polish across the rest.
- Play Crazy Eights with two to five players: match the suit or the rank, and play an eight to name a new suit
- Letter Siege: spell words from the board to grow your territory until it reaches your opponent's headquarters
- Color Fill: flood your corner one colour at a time and hold more of the board than your opponent
- Every game now ends the same way, with Leave and Play Again side by side
- Every game rule now comes with a picture
- Computer players in Word Attack choose everyday words rather than obscure ones, and you can hold to peek at your own word
- Cribbage fixes for tapping to play, the last-card rush and an undo that could wipe the other hand
- Turn notifications no longer pile up across your devices
- Friends still confirming a request now show up when you start a game or group
- Optional crash reports help fix problems faster - turn them off any time in Settings
- Crash fixes 4.4 6d ago Cribbage comes to AirChat, and every game can now be played against the computer.
- Play cribbage — the full board, pegging, the count and the crib, for two or three players
- Add computer players to any game at three difficulties, and play on your own
- Word Attack replayed: everyone takes a turn in order, every letter a guess gets wrong scores the player who was attacked, and the game runs to a target score you pick
- Word Attack has its own keyboard, colouring each letter by what the guesses have shown
- Friend requests no longer vanish, and friends stay in your list
- A message to someone out of range waits for them instead of failing 4.3 Sep 18 This update is all about reliability.
