Replay Options

There are two ways to repeat a game: Copy and Replay. Here we will explain some subtle but important differences.

 

Copy

Copying a game creates a new game with the same configurations. To copy a game, click the Copy button, either on the game item in the Playlist menu or on the right-hand column on the game panel. You can choose to copy a came to the same playlist or to a different playlist.

 

 

An identical game item will be created. At this point, you can still make changes to the game configuration. When you're ready to play the game game again, press Run Game on the new game.

 

Repeat

 

After playing your first game, you will notice the right-most button changes from Run Game to Repeat. Clicking Repeat dropdown reveals a list of replay options. By selecting one of the matching options (Random, Fixed, Fixed Role, Fixed Group, or Rotate Role) a new, identical game will be created. Before the new game begins, you will have a chance to modify the game configuration, such as reducing the game duration or making some changes to the game parameters.

 

 

 

A game can be repeated with the following options: Random, Fixed, Fixed Role, Fixed Group, or Rotate Role. To learn more about the matching options, review our article on Matching.

 

Because player matching is important to a replayed game, new players can only join new groups in a replayed game. If new students will be joining the game, consider using Copy instead.
