Your Hand & Dealing
Your hand is the private row along the bottom of your screen. Only you can see what's in it, so it's where your secret cards live. It's stored in your browser, which means a refresh won't empty it.
Putting Cards in Your Hand
There are three ways to move a piece into your hand:
- Select a card, piece, or single token and press
H. - Right-click it and choose Add to Hand.
- Draw from a deck or stack with the number keys (
1–9), which sends cards straight to your hand.
Note
Hand is for the things you'd physically hold. Dice, boards, bags, decks, counters, and whole stacks can't be sent to hand.
Playing From Your Hand
- Hover a card to lift it for a closer look.
- Preview it full-size with
Space. - Flip it privately with
For a double-click, so you can check a back without revealing it. - Play it by dragging it out onto the table.
Making the Hand Fit You
These settings affect only your own hand:
- Card size: a slider from 50% to 150%, or quick S / M / L presets.
- Auto-flip when drawn: have new cards arrive face-up, face-down, or untouched.
- Auto-rotate when drawn: set an angle (in 15° steps) applied to cards as they land.
Dealing to Everyone
To set up opening hands, you don't deal one card at a time. Right-click a deck or token stack and choose Deal, then:
- Enter the number of cards per player.
- Optionally tick Flip Face Up.
- Choose which players are dealt in.
- Confirm, and each player instantly receives their cards in their own private hand.
