How to play
Every multiplayer game here works the same way. Learn it once, then you can start or join any game in under a minute.
The four steps
Creating a game
- Type a name. It's what the other players see at the table. You don't need an account.
- Tap Create New Game. You become the host and land in the lobby.
- Share the room code. The 4-digit code is at the top of the lobby, and there's a share button next to it. Anyone who enters it joins your table.
- Arrange the table. Players sit in seats. As host you can tap or drag a player onto a different seat.
- Add bots if you like. Tap + Bot on an empty seat and a computer player fills it. Good for practice, or when you're a player short.
- Start. The start button tells you if you still need more players. When it lights up, tap it.
Joining a game
- Get the room code from the person hosting.
- Open the same game, type your name and the 4-digit code, then tap Join Game.
- Or use an invite. If you're signed in and a friend invites you to a game, a Join button pops up on your screen.
- Wait in the lobby until the host starts. You can open the gear icon to change your theme, card back and color while you wait.
Good to know
Do I need an account?
No. Type a name and play. If you sign in, your results count toward your stats and the leaderboards.
Where are the rules for each game?
Most games have a How to Play button on their start screen or behind the gear icon. This page is about getting into a game; that button explains how to win it.
Can I play alone?
Yes, in most games. Create a game and fill the other seats with bots.
Does it cost anything?
No. Content on this site is free and always will be.
