Coaching workflows

The playmat has a built-in guide for each of these. You don't need to name it: ask in your own words, like the example prompts on each page, and your assistant follows the right guide.

1. Play a game

   play-game Use when the player wants to play a game against you on the playmat (new_game, play mode), so your opponent's play never uses the player's hidden cards.

2. Import a game

   import-game Use when the player pastes a TCG Live battle log or a saved game record, or asks to import, load or replay a game.

3. The opponent's likely deck

   opponent-deck Use right after importing a game, or when the opponent's unseen cards show as unknown, to build and apply the opponent's likely 60-card list.

4. Review a game

   review-game Use when the player asks to review, go through, analyse or coach a game on the playmat, or accepts the offer of a review after importing.

5. Replay drill

   replay-drill Use when the player asks for a drill, a puzzle, practice, or to replay their losses or mistakes from reviewed games.

6. Before you move

   before-you-move Use when the player asks to practise their pre-move checklist or turn routine, or to be quizzed on a position.

7. Numbers drill

   numbers-drill Use when the player asks for a numbers drill, damage maths practice, or a quick quiz on the cards in the open game or the meta's threats.

You can also rewind a game and try another line at any point.
