How do I play Versus against a friend?

Start a match

• Pick a game on the Versus tab, then pick who you’re playing.
• One round each, on the same board. Higher score wins.
• Versus is always free. It never uses a play.

Who you can play

• Someone you’ve played before.
• A Game Center friend: Show my friends.
• Anyone: Game Center finds a rival.
• Same phone: pass it back and forth.
• Text a friend (new in 1.2 — TestFlight build 12): play your round, then text them the link. They tap it, One More opens, and they play your board. One link, one friend.
• Anyone, and someone’s already waiting? You’ll see “… is waiting” — play their board too.
• Friend not in your list? Game Center only shows friends who have One More and allowed it. Text them a link instead.

Online timing

• You play now, they play when they can.
• Nobody has to be online at the same time.

Your matches

• Sorted: Your turn first (the number on the Versus tab), then Waiting on them, then Finished.
• Finished shows the latest 3. See all for the rest.
• Rematch: when a match ends, both players see a rematch button on that match — same game, new board.
• Rivals: switch to Rivals for one line per person with your record (wins–losses). Tap one for your matches with them, a rematch, or a new match.
• Finished matches tidy away after 7 days. Your wins, losses and rival records stay.

Remove a match

• New in 1.2 — TestFlight build 12.
• Tap the trash on its row.
• Finished or nobody joined: it just goes.
• Someone’s already playing you: it counts as your loss and their win.

Scoring rules

• Untimed games (Stackit, Doubles, Swap 3, Tower) get a 90-second clock in versus.
• Online versus scores count on the game boards — your round goes on that game’s Game Center board and your best.
• Same-phone versus doesn’t count.
• Tic-Tac-Toe is different (new in 1.2 — TestFlight): you take turns on one board, one move each turn. See Tic-Tac-Toe.
