The game library
Both devices should refresh ASENDME to play Memory Match, Hangman and Dominoes.
- Memory Match: find eight pairs in sixteen cards. Matches keep your turn; Continue hides mismatches. Fresh joint committed shuffle each round.

These are friendly-play games, not cheatproof. Memory Match values exist in client memory. Hangman keeps the chosen word on the setter until final reveal, but a modified setter can misjudge guesses before the proof or withhold it. Dominoes intentionally shows both hands. Memory Match and Dominoes negotiate fresh joint committed seeds for every round, with no server shuffle or game engine.
In Draw & Guess, the word stays on the sketcher's device until reveal. A salted commitment prevents changing it; the sketcher still judges guesses, so a modified client can cheat or withhold. Friendly play, not server-authoritative anti-cheat.
