Open table

A deck and nothing else. There are no rules: you deal, draw, put cards on the table and explain them to each other, like at any table. Good for playing whatever you like, or for making something up.

2 to 6 players · As long as you like.

The rules

What the table does

It holds the cards. It deals, shuffles, gathers everything up to deal again, and remembers who has how many. Your hand is secret until you show it — that is the one thing a wooden table cannot do.

What the table does NOT do

It does not know what you are playing, so it validates nothing: you can play whatever card you like whenever you like. It does not know who won either, and that is why nobody wins or loses chips here. The result is something you know.

Talking is how it works

This table works if you talk to each other. You have the table's voice and the table chat, which reach only the people sitting here. Use them: they are the rules.

Whose turn it is

The turn marker is a courtesy and is passed by hand with the button. Nobody will stop you playing out of turn — just like at a real table.
