Card Game Online

How to play here

The lobby

After you sign in you land in the lobby. Each section is a group you belong to, and the cards inside it are its tables. The toolbar at the top holds your tokens, the match log, the rules, feedback, your preferences, and a ? that explains whatever page you are on.

Groups

The public group is open to everyone. A private group is yours: create one, then share its invite link or add members by their email address. The gear on a group's heading opens its page โ€” members, the invite link, settings.

Starting a table

"New Table" opens the table straight away with you in the seat you chose and BOTs in the rest. Friends take a BOT's seat by tapping its badge. Anyone holding a seat presses Start in the middle of the table โ€” whoever presses it deals first.

Bidding and play

Bids are made on the keyboard that appears on your turn; cards are played by tapping them in your hand. The ๐Ÿ’ก on a name badge asks what that player's bid means; the ๐Ÿ’ก on the keyboard or by your hand asks the BOT what it would do. Each answer costs one token.

Leaving

The exit icon beside the settings icon leaves your seat โ€” a BOT takes it. If you were the last person at the table, the table is abandoned.

Match logs and replays

The match log page lists the finished matches of your groups. Open any of them as a written log โ€” every bid, trick and hand โ€” or replay it on the board.

Watching

A running table in your group shows a Watch button. You see the cards of players who allow it; otherwise "Request to view cards" asks them, and they allow or decline at the table.

Tokens

Tokens pay for BOT seats (per game) and BOT help (per answer). They are gifted โ€” a welcome grant and a monthly allowance. The tokens chip in the toolbar opens your wallet.
