Running An Advanced Game

Start a selected game and use stage or round controls while connected.

During Play

• Choose a game from Game Library, then start it from the app or by taking the first hardware turn.
• Use Stage and Round menus to jump to a specific point.
• From a beacon, hold Primary/Top and short press side/menu twice to manually advance the stage.
• Inside a pattern, manual advance leaves the current stage and enters the next pattern loop until the pattern’s loop count is complete.
• For Infinite patterns, the first manual advance starts the next loop. A second immediate manual advance exits the pattern.
• If a stage’s start-player movement is Claimed, hold Primary/Top and side/menu for about 2 seconds to mark the next first player without changing the current active turn.
• Stage reminders appear in the app when a stage starts and clear when gameplay continues.
• Choosing a Stage or Round backs a completed game out of Complete.
• The side status light normally shows each beacon’s player color while an Advanced Game is running. In the menu, it temporarily shows the current Leader/Follower state.
• Use View Players to temporarily fill each beacon with its assigned player color.
• You can assign player names, then record a winner and scores after the game completes.
• Complete Game ends the session and leaves it visible until you clear or replay it. Abandon Game removes it from history.
