Public Matches - 26.1.0
May 18, 2026
Diplomats!
The first major update to Intrigue: Friend and Foe is here! Version 26.1.0 was released last night and is now available to download. What's new:
Public Matches and Match Finder
You can now host public matches for other players to discover and join. Clicking on the "Find Games" button from the main menu will show all the public lobbies that are available to join, and you can be filter them by map, variant, and main phase duration.
Joining a public match will take you to the lobby menu and allow you to select a country. If you have notifications enabled, you will be notified when the host starts the match.
Players can host up to 5 public match lobbies at any one time. Once a lobby is public, it cannot be made private again. It will remain publicly available until the host starts the match, the lobby expires, or the host deletes it.
To make a lobby public, click on the "Public Match" check box at the top of the lobby menu. Match Lobbies are still private by default, and you can join both types of lobbies with the 6-digit match code via the "Join by code" button.
Bug Fixes
We identified an issue causing some in-game chat messages to disappear due to synchronization problems between the client and server. This release includes a fix, and all chat messages should now display properly.
You can download the latest version from either the App Store or Play Store.
Regards,
Talley
