Two changes went live today, and both are about seeing how you are doing.
A moment for every badge
Badges are the feats you pull off at the table: El Mexicano for making a Mexico, Sniper for taking exactly the tricks you bid, Sicario for breaking the caller's bid on your own, Phoenix for winning a game from last place — twelve at the table in all, plus the badges for the week's winner and for tournament champions. Each one pays 10 pesos, and you can earn the same badge again and again.
Until now a new badge appeared in a small dialog. Now it takes the whole screen: the badge spins in like a coin, lands with a flash, a shockwave and sparks, and then sits in rotating rays and a soft halo while the pesos fly to your counter. If you earn a badge while the game is in another tab, the animation waits and plays when you come back. On a device that cannot draw it, a simpler version shows the badge.
A badge earned at the end of a round no longer gets in the way of the next one: the game waits until you close the reveal before it asks for your bid.
The full list, with what each badge is for, is on the home page.
Your own place on every leaderboard
The leaderboards are long — every player who has scored points is on them — and if you were not in the top ten, you had to page through to find yourself. Now the first page of every leaderboard keeps a row for you, as long as you have points on that list. If you are 23rd, the tenth row shows you at 23, highlighted and set off by a dashed line, so you see at a glance how far you are from the players above you. On later pages your row is highlighted wherever it appears.
This works on all of them: public and Mini, all time, this month and this week, and the tournament ranking. The place in your row is calculated exactly like the page itself, with ties broken the same way, so the two numbers always agree.
How the lists count points, and what the weekly top ten wins every Monday, is explained in the leaderboard guide.
Open the game and check where you stand this week.
