Four-minute guided demo · 1 of 5

A shared table, not a complicated game site.

Let’s Play Cards starts with a plain deck. You can play alone, invite friends, or add computer players when you pick a game they know.

Nothing happens until you choose it. You can learn and explore without damaging a real deck.

2 of 5 · Start a table

Make a game in one touch.

  1. Enter the name you want others to see.
  2. Choose Make a game for a plain deck right away.
  3. Use Choose deck options only when you want another deck, several decks, a scheduled game, or a particular game.

To learn Kings in the Corner, select it from the Game list on the table, then choose Deal. Every player receives seven cards and the table begins with four ordinary starter cards.

A game invitation opens the named table directly. A person only enters their own name; they do not need a password just to join a test game.

3 of 5 · People, turns, and talking

Add people when you are ready.

Choose Players to copy or email an invitation. Choose Add AI player to add Bob, Ada, or a name of your choice. Computer players wait politely until a game with rules is selected.

The highlighted name and the gold turn token show whose turn it is. Tap a player’s seat to pass the token. Choose Chat for table messages, and Start voice when everyone wants to talk.

You may also join as an observer: watch the table without being dealt cards.

4 of 5 · Move cards

Drag one card—or select a pile.

  • Press and drag a loose card to move it.
  • Drag a card down to your private hand to keep its face private.
  • Tap cards in your hand to select several, then move them as a group.
  • Use the hand size buttons to make private cards easier to read.
  • Use View −, Center, and View + to see a crowded table.

For Kings in the Corner, play face-up cards outward from the center. The game will help a King settle into an available corner; you still decide the play.
