Hey all! We're happy to say we've fixed a couple bugs with background searches and also that we've added a new time option: Limited. Use this option to find time-limited matches only (and avoid unlimited length turns)

Experienced players, if you haven't tried time-limited turns yet, especially at 20, 30, or 45 seconds, it's a lot of fun. Kind of like speed chess... but with more skulls!
