How can we help?

Tap How to play on the home screen for a quick walk through the rules. The short version: play up to three cards a turn, and be the first to finish three treasure collections.

No, you can play as a guest. A guest pirate only lives on that phone, so it's gone if you sign out or delete the game. To keep it, open Settings and save your pirate by signing in.

Install the game and sign in the same way you did before. Guest pirates can't move to a new phone unless they were saved first.

Tap your card on the home screen to open your profile, then tap your name.

On your profile, tap your picture to pick a different pirate, or tap Hat, Eyes, Pipe, Buddy or Frame to change what they're wearing. New items are in the Shop.

Open Friends on the home screen and search for their pirate name, or their code (like Jack#4821) to find exactly the right pirate. Your own code is at the top of that page, with a Share button.

Tap Play with friends and create a private game. Share the game code, or invite friends who are online right from the waiting room.

Online games earn gold, with extra for winning. You can also watch an ad for free gold, or buy gold in the Shop. Buying any gold also means you never have to watch an ad for those rewards again.

Make sure you're online, then close the game fully and open it again. A purchase isn't finished until our server has checked it, so it gets another try. Still missing? Email us with your pirate's name and code and the date of your purchase.

Apple and Google handle all payments, so refunds go through them: Apple's Report a Problem page on iPhone, or Google Play's refund page on Android.

Open Settings on the home screen. Music and sound effects each have a volume bar, and Pirate voices switches the emotes off altogether. During a game, the same controls are in the game menu.

There's a Notifications switch in Settings. If you told your phone no when it first asked, you'll need to turn them on for Pirate Deal in your phone's own settings.

During a game, open the game menu and choose Mute or report. Muting hides that player's emotes and friend requests. Reporting tells us about them, and mutes them for you too.

Open Settings on the home screen and tap Delete account. Here's what that deletes, and what to do if you can't open the game.
