Features
Private Hand
Press H to move selected cards to your private hand at the bottom. Only you can see your hand. Press F while hovering over a card in your hand to flip it and see the back. Press Space while hovering over a card in your hand to preview it. Drag cards from your hand to play them on the table with their current facing.
Automatic Containers
Drag cards onto cards to create decks. Drag tokens onto tokens to create stacks. Drag items into bags. Drag cards into deck zones for organized play areas. Token stacks support the same flip mechanic as decks — press F to flip a stack and reverse which end you draw from.
Zones
Zones are colored regions drawn on the table (host only). Click the zone icon in the toolbar then drag to draw one. Right-click a zone to edit, join, or trigger zone actions. Each zone can have a type:
• None – Standard region with no special behavior. Useful for visual organization.
• Hidden – Objects inside are invisible to players who haven't joined. Right-click the zone → Join Zone to see its contents.
• Hand – Objects dropped in go directly to the joined player's private hand.
• Random – Right-click the zone → Shuffle Zone to randomly scatter all objects inside.
• Flip – Automatically flips any card or token dropped into this zone.
• Layout – Objects dropped in are automatically arranged into a centered grid. Configure columns and spacing in the zone settings. Right-click → Re-layout Zone to manually re-trigger. When Re-layout when objects are removed is enabled, the grid closes gaps automatically whenever an object is taken out.
All zone types also support Auto-Flip on Drop — set in zone settings to force objects to face-up or face-down when dropped in.
Marker Tool
Click the marker pen icon in the toolbar to enter Marker Mode. While active, draw freehand strokes directly on table components or on the table surface itself — visible to all players in real-time. Use the toolbar to pick color, size, and opacity. Press Undo to remove your last stroke. Use Clear Selected, Clear Table, or Clear All to erase marks. Right-click any component → Clear Marks to erase strokes from a single object. Press Esc to cancel an in-progress stroke or exit Marker Mode. Marker strokes saved to a component in the editor appear automatically on all matching table instances.
Real-Time Sync
See other players' cursors and selections in real-time. All actions sync instantly via WebSocket.
Voice Chat
Pro
Click the mic button in the top toolbar to join peer-to-peer voice chat with everyone in the room. Audio goes directly between browsers — no server in the middle. Use the mute button in the top-left panel to toggle your mic. Each participant shows as a colored avatar bubble. No external app needed.
Action History
View the action log on the right to see what everyone is doing. Toggle visibility with the log icon.
Host Controls
Component Sidebar
As host, you see a sidebar on the left with all project components. Click any component to spawn it on the table. Use the search box to filter components.
Right-Click Menu
Right-click the empty table to spawn generic objects (dice, tokens, counters, zones, bags) manually. Right-click any spawned component to see the Component ▶ submenu, which lets you Open in Editor (new tab), Save to Component (writes current table state back to the project), or Load From Component (pulls the latest data from the database — images, name, markers, snap points, scale, and more — and applies it to all matching instances on the table including cards inside decks).
Room Persistence
Toggle the lock icon in the top bar to make the room persistent. Persistent rooms stay open even when empty (max 5 active).
Co-Host Promotion
Open the Players panel (top-right) and click the Co-Host pill button next to any player to grant them full host controls — they can spawn components, move locked objects, manage the table, and more. Click Revoke to return them to player status. Co-hosts cannot promote other players.
Force Resync
If players get out of sync, use the "Force Resync" button in the top-right menu to push your current state to all players.
Save/Load Setup
Save your current table setup and load it later or in different rooms. Great for recurring game sessions.
Sync All Components from DB
Click the violet refresh icon in the host toolbar to pull the latest data from the database for every component currently on the table — including cards and tokens inside decks, bags, and stacks. This updates images, names, marker strokes, snap points, scale, colors, and more in one pass. A progress overlay shows each component as it is fetched and applied. Use this after making edits in the Component Editor to see your changes reflected immediately in the playtest room without reloading.
Snap Points
Click the crosshair icon in the toolbar (or right-click a component → Snap Tags) to enter snap point mode. Click anywhere on the table to place a fixed snap point, or click directly on a component to attach a snap point that moves with it. Objects dropped within range snap automatically. Use tags to control which objects snap where. Right-click a snapped object → Restrictions to disable snap follow or prevent snapping entirely.
Free Scale Mode
Right-click any component → Scale row → click Free. Drag any of the 4 corner handles to resize the component freely. Click Done in the blue banner to finish.
Pro Tips
• Use Ctrl + Click to select multiple objects at once, then perform actions on all of them
• Drag on empty space to box select multiple objects at once. Hold Ctrl while dragging to add to your current selection
• Right-click any project component on the table → Component ▶ to open it in the editor, sync saves back, or pull the latest updates from the database
• Double-click cards to quickly flip them, dice to roll them, or coins to flip them
• For custom dice, use 1-9 to jump to specific faces or Shift+Plus/Minus to cycle through them
• The table color picker lets you customize the table background to match your game theme
• Objects can be locked (press L) to prevent accidental movement - great for game boards
• Use deck zones to create organized areas for draw/discard piles
• Your hand persists even if you refresh the page (stored in browser)
• All actions produce sound effects - rolling dice, flipping coins, shuffling, and placing objects
• Animations sync in real-time - everyone sees dice rolls, coin flips, and shuffle animations together
