Tessera Support
Help with the game and with online play.
Learning the game
The full rules are in the game: tap How to play on the title screen, or open the pause menu during a match. Tap any card or unit, yours or your opponent's, to read it.
Playing online
- Quick match pairs you with anyone else waiting. Host a room gives you a four-letter code: send it to a friend, who types it under Join.
- Each turn and each decision has a clock beside the round marker. If it runs out, the game plays the quiet choice for you (keep your hand, no blocks, pass, end the turn). Three in a row concede the match.
- If you lose your connection, the game reconnects by itself and puts you back in your match. After two minutes away, the match is conceded.
- When the server restarts for an update, matches are saved and carry on once it is back, usually within a minute.
Names, reporting and blocking
- Your name is 3 to 16 letters, numbers, spaces and . ' - _, typed on the Online screen. Names are checked by a filter; Random draws one for you.
- Report a player from the pause menu during a match, or from the game-over screen, for an offensive name or unsportsmanlike play. Every report is reviewed. A name reported by three players is replaced at once.
- Block a player the same way: you won't be paired with them again and their name is hidden. Unblock them under Blocked players on the Online screen.
Common problems
- "Not connected": check your internet connection. The dot at the top right of the Online screen is gold when connected.
- "This version of the game can no longer play online": update the game from the App Store.
- A friend can't join your room: you both need the same version of the game. Rooms close after fifteen minutes unjoined.
