New Features

Players who bought Steam Early Access or made a Game Addict or Game Scout pledges now can invite any players outside Tabletopia or Tabletopia users with free accounts to play premium games.

When going from Steam version to browser version, the system prompts you to log in using your Steam account.
“Game finished” notification is displayed when the game is over, if no game end mode is specified.

Fixes

Fixed issue with duplication of random elements in a group in Workshop.
No available rooms are displayed in Find & Play for a player who went AFK and then returned online.
Critical errors in decks of cards: incorrect position of the last card or its disappearance in some cases.
