In edit mode, it is possible to create a user-defined game based on an existing game. In this mode, all hand cards and the Talon cards are shown face-up and the user is allowed to freely exchange cards between the players and between players and the Talon.

You can start the edit mode from any game with the following steps:

•  Press this button on the app bar of the game view to show the list of secondary commands. On a PC, you can use the menu of the title bar alternatively. This menu is more detailed than that of the app bar, so you can reach almost all the panes directly.

• Select the command: Manage game files.
   
• The game files pane comes into view. It shows the name, the comment, and the saved status of the current game.
   
•  Click this button to enter the edit mode.
   

Alternatively, you can use the shortcut Ctrl+E to enter the edit mode quickly.

In any case, the current game is copied to a new game with the current date and time as name. This new game is shown after dealing of the cards. All hands are showing 12 cards face-up. The gaming table in Talon view shows the 6 Talon cards also face-up.

• You can now drag a card with your finger or with the mouse from one player's hand to another player's hand or to the Talon. When your finger or the mouse pointer is over the card you want to replace, that card must show a green frame. When you drop the dragged card on the desired target card with the green frame, the dragged card replaces the target card and the target card is moved to the place of the source card automatically. You may also exchange cards between the Talon and a player's hand or within the Talon in the same way.
   
• Alternatively, you can double-click the two cards to be exchanged. Or, you may press the Enter key or the Spacebar if any of them has the input focus assigned. The first card checked will get a green, blinking border. After checking the second card, the exchange will be performed with animation.
   
• When you have finished editing, you can start the new game from begin by clicking the action "Start edited game" shown in the action box. Alternatively, you can achieve the same by use the shortcut Ctrl-E a second time.
