What's New: February 2025

Feature polish
Double Points clarity
- Added a persistent "Double Points Active" badge beside the scoreboard nameplate.
- Recap banner now specifies "-15 (Double Points miss)" when the lock is live and you fall short.
- Locked predictions auto-clamp when the hand size drops, preventing illegal bids mid-lock.
Blind mode quality-of-life
- Hosts pick Blind Prediction and Blind Tricks in Create Room → Game Settings, so you can set expectations before the lobby launches.

**until the final call, letting everyone focus on memory instead of scoreboard math. - While a trick is underway, opponents' cards stay face down until the winner is announced—no recap banner callouts needed.
