Each Player that joins a room will connect to the hosts chat.

To send a message to all the players connected simply start typing and press enter.

While playing a game you do not need to select the chat window to start typing a message, it will automatically be

selected when any key is pressed.



At any time you may close your chat window and disconnect from the host chat or simply minimize to have the window

shrunk to the task bar.

If you close the chat window then you will see the "Connect to Chat" in the bottom right corner of the game screen.

If the host closes the chat window then all players in the room will have their chat closed.

When the host reconnects to chat then each player will automatically reconnect.



Configure Chat Window

Filter Foul Language is used so that any swear words are replaced by the word !FOUL! instead of the actual swear word.



Mute Sound is used to mute the sound effect for the incoming message



Always On Top is used to have the Chat Window remain on top of all other windows including the game window

If this option is not checked then the Chat window can be sent to the bottom of any other window that is opened including the game window.



BRB (Be Right Back)

This is an on-off button to tell everyone in the room if you are busy or not. This will also toggle "Auto Play" on and off.

When on, the computer will take over playing for you until the end of the hand. At the end of the hand press either BRB again

or press Continue to resume playing. Positive points are not collected when the computer is playing for you, but negative points are such

as taking the 3 or losing the bid. This is for the simple reason so it cannot be used as a dodge for getting a band hand or avoiding the game loss points etc..



Face Emotions

After selecting an Emotion you will have to press enter to send

You may also type the appropriate symbols to send the emotions instead, such as :) or :(
