One layout for every two-player game (Colony, Four in a Row, Ground later), signed in or out. The board leads, so the page shows what the game is before you read a word. Then three things to do, in this order: play the computer, play a friend, how to play.
"Play a friend" opens a choice: send a link (online, on two phones) or pass this device. Signed in, the computer is rated and matched to you. Signed out, you choose Easy, Even or Hard.
Same screen, the level picked in a quiet row. Nothing is rated.
Rated is on by default. Choosing Practice swaps the line below for Easy, Even and Hard. The page remembers your choice.
The home stays at two buttons. Tapping "Play the computer" asks once per game.
No Undo in a rated game. "Rated" sits quietly in the bar. When you go up a rank, one line under the result; otherwise nothing.
The same parts side by side: the board on the left, the title and actions on the right.
