Matching is the slower half of Crewlier. Instead of filling a squad for the next hour, you are looking for the people who become your regulars — the ones whose library overlaps yours and who want the same thing out of a session.
Your games, a short introduction, a few photos and the tags that describe how you play — competitive or relaxed, late nights or weekends, ranked grinder or story finisher.
You see one player at a time: their library, their tags, and the reputation they earned from people who played with them. Like or pass.
When two people like each other a conversation opens between them. Until that happens nothing is sent to either side.
Once you match, the natural next step is playing together — you can invite each other straight into an LFG party and use its voice room.
There is no screen that shows you who liked you, and that is a design decision rather than a feature waiting to be unlocked: the information is never sent to your device at all. Identity opens when the interest is mutual, and only then.
Your library is part of the signal, and if you connect your game account your hours can come from there instead of being typed in by hand. A shared game with real hours behind it says more than a list of titles anyone can tick.
The ratings and badges you earn in parties appear on your match profile. Someone deciding whether to like you is not looking at a blank card — they can see that people who played with you would play with you again.
Introductions and photos go through moderation before they reach other players, and every profile can be reported with a reason. Matching is the part of the app where people share the most about themselves, so it is the part with the tightest checks.
No. It matches players on games, playstyle and what they want out of a session. What people do with a match is up to them, but the product is built for finding people to play with.
So the deck stays worth looking at. Without a limit the fastest strategy would be to like everyone, and then a match would tell you nothing about whether the other person actually chose you.
You can filter the players you see, and you can stop appearing altogether by turning your match profile off. Blocking someone removes them from your deck in both directions.
The conversation goes away for both sides and neither of you appears in the other's deck again.
Crewlier is free. Early access on Windows, macOS and Google Play — iOS coming soon.
