  • Each character appears in turn. Click its list, or press its number.
  • The groups never move, so the number keys are quick.
  • Skip (0) sends a prompt to the back of the queue.
  • Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.

Hero or villain? The groups appear when you start.
