In PvP, choose Play with friends, then create a room and send its code or link. Friend rooms support up to eight players without an account and do not affect ranking.
A friend-room link is the direct way to gather a group. It is different from entering a ranked queue, and it is separate from your locally saved campaign. The current game Guide and room labels provide the steps below.
Create a room and invite your friends
Open Kanto Tactics at Einoow’s site. In PvP, choose Play with friends and then Create room. Share the room code or use Copy link. Your friends can use the invitation link, or choose the option to join with a code.
The current invitation says up to eight players can join without an account. The host starts the match, and can fill unused seats with Trainers. The Guide identifies those filler Trainers as bots, so a full table is not proof that every opponent is another person.
Friend rooms do not count toward the ranking. Use this route when your goal is to play together, rather than assuming a friend-room result changes ranked points. The room controls and the Guide distinguish these modes directly.
If a friend cannot join
Ask the host for a fresh copy of the invitation link or room code. The game has separate messages for a missing room, an expired room, a full room and a match that already started. Match your next step to the message instead of repeatedly submitting different codes.
For a full room, the host needs to make space. For an expired room, create a new room and share the new invitation. If the match has started, return to the host rather than expecting an old invitation to add you mid-match. The game also warns when too many codes are tried in a short time; wait before trying again.
Connection and host availability still matter. A room invitation does not guarantee that its host is currently connected. Use the same current invitation across the group so you are not trying to join different rooms.
Keep your browser save before troubleshooting
Progress is saved automatically in the browser. For a move to another device, the current Guide names a separate step: choose Save to the cloud to keep progress with your Einoow account. Merely reopening the game in another browser does not carry a local save across.
Before changing devices or clearing anything, use the game’s Save to the cloud control and check the save status in your account. The developer’s current help describes this transfer route; we have not tested a cross-device recovery. Local progress can be wiped by clearing the game’s site data or playing in private browsing.
For a graphics problem, try the game’s own reload option first when it says the board lost its graphics: that message explicitly says the game is saved. Reloading a tab and clearing its storage are different operations. The latter can remove the local copy you are trying to protect.
For choppy graphics, check acceleration
The game’s help recommends enabling hardware acceleration in the browser’s System settings and reloading when graphics are choppy or blurry. Its warning explains that software rendering can reduce performance. Follow the setting available in your browser, then return to the same game location.
A player asked specifically about Safari under the launch post. That question alone does not establish that all Safari versions fail, or that another browser works on every device. Keep the exact browser version and visible symptom when asking the developer for help.

Quick questions
Can I play with my friends without an account?
Yes. The current friend-room invitation supports up to eight players without an account. Create the room through Play with friends in PvP and share its code or link.
Do friend-room matches count toward ranking?
No. Friend rooms are separate from ranked progression, according to the game’s room help.
Will clearing site data fix lag safely?
It can erase local progress. The game first recommends checking hardware acceleration and reloading for choppy graphics; avoid clearing its site data as a casual troubleshooting step.
