Game Info Box

Each game created in any lobby will appear in the main game window for that lobby, with its own info box. Games that are not yet started - either because they are sill awaiting players, or because they have all players but are still in the pre-game startup phase - have a medallion the predominant color of the lobby they are in (e.g. blue for the Casual Games Lobby, Gold for the Beginners and Tutorial Lobby) in the middle of the info box, while games that are already started have gray medallions.

A game may be joined, as a player if it has not yet started, or as an observer if it has, by clicking on its medallion. it may also be joined by clicking on the small arrow in its lower right corner.

Information about a game, including the players currently in it, can be found by clicking on the question mark in the lower left corner of the game info box.

Games that may be observed have a small eye in their top right corner to indicate this. These games may also be joined as an observer by clicking on this icon.

Each medallion lists the game format - Standard, Open, etc - in the middle of the medallion, with the number of players currently joined and the total number of players allowed just below it. For example, if a medallion shows

Fellowship Block
2/3

this means it is a Fellowship Block game (i.e. only Fellowship cards are allowed), with two current players joined in a three-player game. There may also be a number in brackets after the total number of players allowed. This indicates the number of observers in this particular game. If there is no number in brackets there, this means that there is nobody observing that game currently.

Each medallion also has a single small circle above the format indicator. This single circle indicates the game is the best of one match. It is also possible to play best of three matches, in which case the medallion will show three overlapping circles.

Each medallion also has a number of small white or green circles around it's lower left edge. Each circle indicates a seat, green when it is occupied, white when it is vacant. The total number of circles is the total number of seats available in that particular game. Games that have already started may sometimes have a white circle at their edge, to indicate a player that has left the game, whether because they were defeated, disconnected, or for another reason.

Each medallion has a player avatar attached to its top left quadrant. This is the avatar of the player who started the game.

Each game info box has a small number in the top left. This is the number of the game. Each also has a title in the top right. This title is able to be set upon creation, and simply gives the game a label.
