How to Play: Trade Screen
Index -> Interface -> Trade Lobby -> Trade Screen
The Trade Screen is similar to the Collection Manager. It features a Collection Binder and the Filter & Search options found in the Fleet Builder and Collection Manager.
When you first enter the Trade Screen, your trade partners collection will be visible to you (and, by default, he will be looking at yours). If you need to refer back to your own collection, you can click the tab at the top of the Collection Binder.
The Collection Binder lists cards in alphabetical order by race within a set. You can click on the arrows at the bottom corners of the binder to move through the pages of the binder.
You will see only cards that your trading partner owns and has listed as willing to trade away. If you see a card you like, you can add it to a proposed trade in one of three ways:
- Double-clicking on a card adds one copy to the proposed trade.
- Clicking and dragging a card to the You get area of the screen adds one copy to the proposed trade.
- Right-clicking on a card creates a dropdown list, where you can add 1-4 copies to (or remove them from) the proposed trade.
As you and your partner decide on cards youd like to exchange, cards coming your way are shown in the
You get area, while cards leaving your collection and going to the player are shown in the They get area. You can double-click on a card in either area to remove it from the trade. You can also click the Clear button to scrap the present trade proposal entirely.
When you and your partner are happy with the trade, click the Accept button. When both players click Accept, a confirmation dialog box will appear. When both players click Accept on that dialog box, the trade is completed and players swap cards. You will each receive delivery windows indicating your new cards moments after you trade. You may continue to process more trades, if you wish.
To end a trade session, you can either click one of the tabs on the right side of the screen (to Logout or move to a different lobby), or right-click on a blank space on or around the trading binder and select Return to Lobby from the dropdown menu that appears.
