The table on a phone: the masthead keeps the title, who is playing and the room code, and folds the rest behind a Table button; the piece panel opens as a summary and unfolds the lore on request; the told game brings the move's board into view and keeps Back and Next at the foot of the screen with the move's name; a game against a drake can be started over at any time and played again when it ends

The masthead on a 390-pixel screen was 300 pixels tall, with seven buttons before the status line; it is 132 now. The piece panel was 30 percent of the screen with the lore scrolling inside; the summary is a third less, and the lore is a tap away. The told game's words were sticky on a phone as on a wide screen, and pinned themselves over the boards; they scroll with the page now.
