I’ve noticed that when I create a game and submit my first move (great addition by the way), and return to my game list that I will have another game created and waiting on my turn. So, it would seem that creating a new game not only creates a new one but also pairs you up with another player who is looking to play.
In addition, that game waiting on my turn won’t be a point match. For example, I often play at 20 or 26 points and I’ll jump into that generated game waiting on my turn and find that person is at 14 points. So, here I am with a 20-26 point limit playing against a 14 point limit player.
Bugs aside, I think the best way to approach this (and maybe it was the intent), is that when you create a new game that it looks to see if someone already is waiting on an opponent. If so pair up and go, otherwise create a whole new game.
