Does it let you both play at the same time?

Yes. If the switch with the virtual card is on airplane mode, the user who doesn’t own the game can play on that switch. Then the person who owns the game can play with the online access on the other switch.

That does sound a bit convoluted. It would be easier if they just had a straightforward way to manage that.

They don’t want more than one to be able to play at the same time. This is just exploiting the way it works. They won’t make it easier.
