For new players

If you haven't learned to play the game yet, consider reading the rules.

There are a wide variety of game settings which may suit the way you normally play, e.g. changing how many decks, how scoring works, etc. These can be changed before every round.

There are also a bunch of UI customizations that you may want to turn on (or leave off) -- click the gear icon at the top of the screen once you're in the game.
